Just a day before the 2025 Bihar Assembly election results, the state's political temperature soared. RJD leader and Grand Alliance's chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav convened a crucial meeting at his official residence on Thursday, highlighting the importance of maintaining vigilance during vote counting.

Key figures like CPI (ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, VIP chief Mukesh Sahani, and leaders from allied parties were present. According to sources, the meeting extensively discussed the deployment of agents, potential trends, and administrative coordination during the counting.

In a press conference after the meeting, Tejashwi stated, “We don’t want a repeat of the 2020 mishap. At that time, the Grand Alliance was heading for a clear majority, but due to some officials’ whims, the results were skewed. We will not allow a repeat this time.”

He urged the Election Commission for ensuring complete impartiality, asserting that any boundary overstepping or politically influenced actions by officials would be a crime against democracy.
