										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Shivanand Tiwari Advice to Tejashwi Yadav has once again stirred debate in <a href="https://www.indiapodcast.com/election-results-challenge-parties-move-patna-hc-over-four-bihar-seats/">Bihar</a> politics. Tiwari said Tejashwi must stay active in public life, especially after the recent political setbacks. He stressed that victory and defeat are natural, but the real test lies in how leaders respond.<br />
Tiwari repeated that Shivanand Tiwari Advice to Tejashwi Yadav is meant to lift the morale of RJD workers who feel ignored after the loss.</p>
<p>In a long social media post, Tiwari recalled that Tejashwi married on the same day his granddaughter did. He also shared memories of congratulating him despite being distant from the Lalu family. Tiwari said Tejashwi should meet people across Bihar, not as a boss but as a worker.</p>
<p>He added that a defeated leader’s role is bigger than the winner’s, as he must keep supporters motivated. Tiwari criticised Tejashwi for disappearing after the election instead of standing with party workers. He also warned him about relying too much on close aides who “blindfolded” him.</p>
<p>Tiwari advised Tejashwi to return to the field immediately and reconnect with people, saying time never waits.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tej Pratap Yadav electricity bill has become the latest headline after his huge defeat in the <a href="http://www.bihar.com">Bihar</a> Assembly elections. Tej Pratap Yadav electricity bill has reportedly reached several lakhs, yet his power supply was never cut. This has raised serious questions about special treatment and overdue recovery.</p>
<p>Reports say his Beur residence in Patna has not paid any electricity bill since July 2022. The dues have crossed ₹3.6 lakh. Officials said the last payment was made on July 20, 2022. Since then, no bill has been cleared till November 2025.</p>
<p>Another connection in his name, created in July 2012, also shows unpaid dues of ₹2.30 lakh with a late fee of ₹23,681, taking the total to ₹3.24 lakh. Both connections exceed the company rule, which states that postpaid meters with dues above ₹25,000 must be disconnected. But his supply stayed active.</p>
<p>This issue has come out at a time when Bihar is preparing for smart prepaid meters. Meanwhile, Tej Pratap also faced a major political setback, losing the Mahua seat by over 51,000 votes.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prashant Kishor takes responsibility for the Bihar election defeat and speaks openly about the loss. He says that he failed to win the people’s trust. Prashant Kishor takes responsibility again in his statement, saying that the team tried honestly but could not succeed. He admits that the result was a complete failure and believes that accepting the truth is important.</p>
<p>Kishor explains that Jansuraj worked for three and a half years to change the system in Bihar. He says the team made a strong effort, but the public did not support them. Many colleagues attended the press meet even though the party got only 3.5% votes. Kishor feels this shows that the movement created some impact, even if the final result was disappointing.</p>
<p>He also says he chose good candidates, but the public preferred others. Using a simple example, he said, “If someone wants khichdi, how can we give them pulao?” Kishor plans to observe a one-day silent fast at Gandhi Bhitiharwa Ashram as atonement.</p>
<p>He claims they made mistakes but never committed any crime. He also repeats his stand that Nitish Kumar cannot win more than 25 seats. Kishor promises to continue working in Bihar.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Rohini Acharya family dispute has created a new storm in Bihar politics. Rohini claimed that she was abused and hit with slippers at Rabri Devi’s home. She said the mistreatment began when she named Sanjay Yadav and Rameez as key reasons for the RJD’s defeat. The Rohini Acharya family dispute grew stronger when she said she was thrown out of the house.</p>
<p>Rohini left Rabri Devi’s residence in tears and went straight to the Patna airport. She told the media that leaders close to Tejashwi Yadav were avoiding responsibility for the defeat. According to her, people who questioned the party’s inner circle were punished instead of being heard.</p>
<p>She said she had no political ambition and did not seek any ticket or position. But she still faced attacks on social media. Rohini also said that Sanjay Yadav and Rameez told her to stay away from politics before the elections, but she was blamed later.</p>
<p>After the Grand Alliance lost badly, the family feud widened. Many RJD workers also questioned the decisions made by Sanjay Yadav during ticket distribution. Rohini argued that the party leadership should accept accountability instead of targeting her and others.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p data-start="929" data-end="1556">The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is facing its biggest internal crisis after a humiliating defeat in the recent Bihar Assembly elections, with the political setback now turning into a highly public, emotional and bitter family dispute. The controversy erupted when RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s daughter, Rohini Acharya, accused her brother and party leader Tejashwi Yadav’s close aides of abusing her, denying her respect within the family, and forcing her out of the house. Her allegations, shared through a series of emotional social media posts, exposed the widening rift within the family that dominates the party structure.</p>
<p data-start="1558" data-end="1852">Rohini further alleged that she was mocked for donating her kidney to her father and accused of taking money and bargaining for a Lok Sabha ticket. Hours after her statements, three of her sisters—Ragini, Chanda, and Rajlakshmi—reportedly left the family home, signaling intensified tensions.</p>
<p data-start="1854" data-end="2128">Meanwhile, their brother Tej Pratap Yadav also reacted strongly, expressing solidarity with Rohini and stating that the humiliation was &#8220;unbearable.&#8221; He indirectly blamed a few advisers around Tejashwi for influencing party decisions and triggering the internal breakdown.</p>
<p data-start="2130" data-end="2445">The feud reportedly stems from disagreements over accountability for the party’s poor poll performance, with Rohini demanding a serious review. She also publicly criticized Tejashwi’s inner circle, including key strategist Sanjay Yadav and close associate Rameez, whom she described as wielding unchecked influence.</p>
<p data-start="2447" data-end="2626">The escalating feud has not only damaged the family’s unity but also intensified concerns over leadership stability, grassroots morale, and the party’s future political prospects.</p>
