]]> Rumours about a Ritu Jaiswal new party are growing in Bihar. Former RJD Mahila Morcha president Ritu Jaiswal has signalled that she may start a new political front. She said she will interact with the youth and women of Bihar over the next few months. After these talks, the idea of a Ritu Jaiswal new party could move forward.

Ritu wants a party that gives fair space to women, supports young leaders, stops the sale of tickets, and removes nepotism. She also invited public suggestions and welcomed open criticism.

Her move began after she was denied the RJD ticket for the Parihar seat in the 2025 Bihar elections. Earlier, she lost the 2020 election when the party selected Smita Gupta, daughter-in-law of senior RJD leader Ramchandra Purve. Feeling sidelined, Ritu contested as an independent. She secured 65,000 votes, pushing the RJD candidate to third place and helping BJP’s Gayatri Devi win with 82,000 votes.

This result strengthened Ritu Jaiswal’s belief that she has strong public support. Now, her plan to form a new party could shake Bihar’s political landscape, especially among women and young voters.

]]> Ritu Jaiswal exposes RJD candidate Smita Gupta, intensifying tension within RJD between Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. She accused Smita Gupta, the party’s Parihar candidate, of filing a false affidavit about her age—listing 49 instead of 43. Ritu warned that even if Smita wins, the seat could be lost in court for false documents. She shared the affidavit publicly and appealed to Tejashwi in an open letter.

Ritu argued that development in Parihar needs honest leadership and not candidates with legal risks. She said Smita’s contest will only split votes and help the ruling MLA. Ritu urged Tejashwi to withdraw Smita’s nomination or let her contest independently with Grand Alliance support. Despite being offered another seat, Ritu refused to leave Parihar, saying its people look to Tejashwi with hope.
