Iftar parties are in full swing in Bihar's capital, Patna. The National People's Party (RJD) chief and former Bihar Chief Minister, Lalu Prasad Yadav recently hosted a promising Iftar gathering. The event saw the attendance of former Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav and former CM Rabri Devi, yet notable for the absence of Congress figures. Key leaders from the grand alliance and Muslim religious organizations were invited. Meanwhile, Union Minister Chirag Paswan also hosted an Iftar party in Patna.

No leaders from the Congress party were seen at this event. The entry of the media was restricted outside Siddiqui’s residence.
Setback for CM Nitish Kumar
CM Nitish Kumar faced a setback as Lalu Yadav's Iftar party drew significant Muslim organization leaders. Previously, these organizations had rejected an invitation to Nitish Kumar's Iftar gathering, marking a shift as nearly seven such organizations boycotted his event.
The participation of Muslim groups in Lalu Yadav's Iftar party ignited political speculation, possibly altering the Muslim vote bank landscape in Bihar.
Chirag Paswan's Iftar Party
Union Minister Chirag Paswan hosted an Iftar party at the LJPR office in Patna, expected to entice CM Nitish Kumar and several NDA leaders.
Invitations were extended to devout Muslims and NDA leaders, though the Muslim organizations chose to boycott Chirag's gathering as well.
