RJD Claims 65 JDU MLAs in Contact; NDA Leaders Fear Tejashwi's LoP Status

• RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari claims 65 JDU MLAs are in contact, hoping for a 'miracle' to destabilize the Bihar NDA government.
• JDU and BJP leaders counter-claim that 17-18 RJD MLAs are in touch with them, highlighting RJD's weak position with only 25 seats.
• Nitish Kumar is comfortable with BJP, who made him CM despite JDU having fewer seats than BJP in both 2020 and 2025 elections.
• RJD's seat count dropped to 25, raising doubts about Tejashwi Yadav retaining the Leader of Opposition status.
• The article argues Nitish Kumar is unlikely to leave BJP due to mutual benefits, his age, and BJP's growing strength in Bihar.

Why It Matters: RJD's claims of JDU defections are seen as desperate attempts, while Nitish Kumar remains stable with BJP.
