Bihar politics heats up again: Upendra Kushwaha makes a veiled statement – ​​“Talks haven't concluded yet, the reports are false.”

Patna, October 11, 2025 | Bihar politics is once again in a state of flux. JDU leader and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha issued a scathing statement on the social media platform Twitter on Saturday, creating a stir in the political circles.

Kushwaha wrote –

“Don't go by the rumours. The talks haven't concluded yet. Wait…! I don't know how the news is circulating in the media. If someone is planting the news, it's a hoax, a fraud. You all should remain vigilant.”

His post has sparked a flurry of political speculation. Upendra Kushwaha's statement is believed to be a direct reference to the ongoing internal tussle between the NDA and the JDU over seat-sharing. For the past few days, there have been reports that the RLM is being given very few seats, which has angered Kushwaha.

However, Kushwaha's tweet makes it clear that negotiations are still ongoing and the picture is not completely clear.

Political analysts believe his statement is part of pressure politics within the NDA—to ensure that the RLM gets a respectable share in the seat-sharing.

Meanwhile, the opposition Grand Alliance is also closely monitoring Kushwaha's stance. Discussions are rife within the RJD and Congress camps that if the NDA fails to persuade Kushwaha, he may once again switch political sides.

At present, the suspense in Bihar politics seems to be deepening once again—

Will Upendra Kushwaha remain with the NDA or form a new front? All eyes are now on his next tweet.
