- •BJP leaders, including Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha, attended Tej Pratap's feast, praising his 'Sanatani' culture, further isolating Tejashwi.
- •Speculation of RLM, Congress, and AIMIM MLAs switching to NDA is rife, with claims of 17-18 RJD MLAs also in contact with NDA, threatening Tejashwi's leadership.
