Bihar: Tejashwi Yadav is the Grand Alliance’s CM face, a photo released before the press conference…

New Delhi. Political activity is at its peak regarding the Bihar assembly elections. The ruling NDA has already been free of any leadership crisis. The seat-sharing issue was resolved in a timely manner. The opposition Grand Alliance has been dogged by tussles over everything from leadership to seat-sharing. But as the saying goes, “All’s well that ends well.” Now, everything seems to be back on track within the Grand Alliance as well. Amidst all this, it has also become clear that the uncertainty regarding the Grand Alliance’s Chief Ministerial face has almost ended. In fact, Congress had been reluctant to openly acknowledge Tejashwi Yadav as the alliance’s CM face, but the party leadership has accepted the RJD leader as the leader of the Grand Alliance. Now, a photograph confirms this. The Grand Alliance is scheduled to hold an important press conference today, Thursday, October 23, 2025. A poster has been released, featuring only Tejashwi Yadav’s photo. Thus, it has been confirmed that Tejashwi Yadav is the leader of the Grand Alliance.

The Grand Alliance has been shrouded in crisis, from seat-sharing to leadership, but it seems everything is clear now. Congress, which had openly refused to accept RJD’s leadership, has now accepted what it had long been hesitant to do. Congress has surrendered to RJD and accepted Tejashwi Yadav’s leadership on behalf of the Grand Alliance. A publicly released photograph has unraveled all the knots within the Grand Alliance. Congress has accepted Tejashwi Yadav as its leader in Bihar. The Grand Alliance has released a poster for a press conference scheduled for October 23, 2025. It features only Tejashwi Yadav’s photo, with no other Grand Alliance leaders.

On Wednesday, October 22, 2025, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav denied any conflict within the Grand Alliance, saying that everything would be clear by October 23. Regarding the ongoing differences between Congress and RJD in the Grand Alliance, Tejashwi Yadav stated in Patna that there was no conflict and that all answers would be available tomorrow, October 23. This poster has since surfaced. Tejashwi Yadav also announced that all contract workers working in various departments of the Bihar government and the approximately two lakh community mobilizers included in the “Jeevika Didi” (Learning Life Sisters) will be made permanent if the Grand Alliance (I.N.D.I.A.) forms the government. The RJD leader stated that if the opposition alliance forms the government in the state, these “Jeevika Didi” (Learning Life Sisters) will receive a salary of ₹30,000 per month. He added that if the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) alliance comes to power in the state, the interest on loans taken by the “Jeevika Didi” (Learning Life Sisters) will be waived.

Ashok Gehlot-Tejashwi Yadav Meeting
Earlier, on October 22nd, Ashok Gehlot visited Tejashwi Yadav’s home. After the meeting, which lasted approximately an hour, Gehlot simply stated that everything would be fine. Besides the RJD and Congress, there is a possibility of a meeting between leaders of other constituents of the I.N.D.I.A., such as the Left parties and the VIP. The Grand Alliance’s constituent parties will demonstrate unity on Thursday and launch a joint campaign. Interestingly, Congress’s Ashok Gehlot has said that there could be friendly fights on 5 to 10 seats.
