On October 24, 2025, PM Modi is set to hold a rally in Samastipur, where he will pay floral tributes to the late Karpoori Thakur. This event will officially launch Modi’s campaign for the Bihar State elections. The rally holds significant importance as it honors Bihar’s political heritage while also initiating a crucial electoral campaign. In opposition news, Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has been designated as the principal clerical representative for the INDIA bloc ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections. This announcement was made in Patna by Ashok Gehlot, the senior observer from the All India Congress Committee (AICC), who was accompanied by Yadav and other alliance leaders. In response, BJP chief R.P.
Singh stated that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will campaign under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s leadership. He also dismissed Tejashwi Yadav’s demand for the NDA to disclose the chief minister’s profile as unnecessary, asserting that Nitish Kumar has affirmed his allegiance to the NDA and that they are poised for the Bihar elections in 2025. Meanwhile, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has seemingly criticized Tejashwi Yadav, suggesting that the RJD leader is misleading women with unfulfilled promises regarding the Jeevika self-help groups.
