Earlier, RJD accused traders of smuggling fertilizers to Nepal, blaming government officials for inaction. The state Agriculture Department says it has taken strong measures, canceling 83 fertilizer licenses and filing FIRs against illegal dealers.

CPI leaders also allege that the central government lowered fertilizer targets for Bihar, worsening the shortage. Farmers fear delayed or insufficient supply ahead of the Rabi sowing season.

Agriculture Minister Ramkripal Yadav rejected opposition claims and challenged them to provide evidence. Meanwhile, farmers continue to demand better monitoring and timely distribution of fertilizers.

CPI (ML) started its journey in the Shahabad region. It once held several seats in Magadh and nearby districts. But this time, it failed to protect most of them. The party won only two seats, while its candidates lost in key areas like Dumraon, Agiaon, Tarari, and Karakat. In places like Siwan and Champaran, the party faced defeat even in old strongholds.

The CPI contested nine seats but could not win even one. The fight in Bachhwara became tough as Congress and CPI candidates ended up competing against each other, which weakened the alliance.

The CPI(M) also failed to win a single seat for the third time in Bihar. Earlier, this happened only in the 1952 and 1915 elections. This continuous decline shows the shrinking voter base of the Left parties in Bihar.

Earlier, CPI-ML released its Parivartan Sankalp Patra promising major reforms — five decimals of land for the homeless in rural areas, fair crop prices, loan waivers for farmers, and pensions for women, elderly, and disabled citizens. The manifesto also proposed 65% reservation for deprived groups, inclusion in the 9th Schedule, and distribution of 21 lakh acres of land as per the Bandopadhyay Commission.

With this, CPI-ML support to Congress in Bihar elections signals a united front within the Grand Alliance, aiming for a strong performance on November 14.

In a major political twist, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren’s party, Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), announced it will not contest the Bihar elections. Earlier, it had planned to fight from six seats. This move comes as a relief for RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, strengthening his position in the alliance.

Meanwhile, Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh’s wife, Jyoti Singh, entered politics as an independent candidate from the Karakat Assembly seat. She declared herself a “separated woman” in her affidavit, owning assets worth ₹18.8 lakh.

Bihar Congress President Rajesh Ram filed his nomination from Kutumba for the third time, expressing confidence in development politics. The RJD’s decision not to field a candidate there also benefits the Congress.

Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM released its first list of 25 candidates, including two non-Muslims. Bihar Elections 2025 continue to shape into an unpredictable political contest.
