Bihar Elections 2025: RJD Prepares For Poll Battle Amid Nitish Kumar’s Welfare Push

As Bihar gears up for the 2025 assembly elections, political activity is intensifying. Shakti Yadav, senior spokesperson of the RJD, highlighted the party’s readiness, stating that their teams are working 24/7 at the grassroots level across panchayats and local constituencies. The RJD claims to be fully prepared to engage with voters and counter government narratives. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has rolled out direct cash transfers of ₹10,000 to women’s accounts under empowerment schemes, aiming to strengthen women’s participation in the electoral process. Analysts note that female voters have historically turned out in higher numbers than men, making this demographic crucial for the upcoming elections. Shakti Yadav criticized the ruling government for alleged mismanagement of public funds and lack of transparency, arguing that governance issues remain unaddressed despite significant allocations in the state budget. The opposition also faces a unique challenge this year, as the campaign includes key national strategists such as Prashant Kishor and interventions from leaders like Asaduddin Owaisi, who are attempting to influence alliances and voter sentiment. With the Election Commission set to announce dates at 4 PM, parties are intensifying campaigns, preparing for a high-stakes electoral contest that could reshape Bihar’s political landscape.
