Bihar NDA leaders led by CM Samrat Choudhary review the council results
Sources said that in the meeting, JD(U) levelled charges against the alliance partner for failing to cooperate and also tried to sabotage their candidate.
Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary convened a meeting of National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leaders on November 5, 2026, to review the performance in the recent Bihar Legislative Council polls. Out of the eight seats contested, the BJP secured two seats, the Janata Dal (United) won one, and both the RJD and JSP secured one seat each.
The Bharatiya Janata Party issued a statement clarifying that both MLCs who are part of the NDA had joined the party, though they had not formally joined and were merely supporting the BJP. Independent candidates Bansdihar Brajwasi and Rahul Raj won the remaining seats. The MLC elections serve to give the Legislative Council, the Upper House of a state legislature, which exists in six Indian states.
During the meeting, JD(U) levelled charges against the NDA for failing to cooperate and attempting to sabotage their candidates. However, after the NDA meeting, BJP State President Sanjay Saraogi informed the media that the meeting was to discuss the plan for Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Vaishali, a day after the NDA government completes one year.
It was also decided that strict action would be taken against leaders found involved in anti-party activities.
