?Bihar’s Record-Breaking Voter Turnout: Pro-NDA Wave or Anti-Incumbency Undercurrent? Who Will Form the Next Government — Nitish or Tejashwi?

If You Have Proof of Vote Theft, Go to Court, Not Twitter”: BJP Ally Slams Rahul Gandhi Over Bihar Poll Claims

“ Patna: A political war of words erupted after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged large-scale “vote theft” during the first phase of polling in Bihar. Hitting back sharply, Arun Bharti, Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) MP and Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s brother-in-law, advised Gandhi to take his allegations to court instead of creating “false noise” on social media. Reacting to Rahul Gandhi’s post on X (formerly Twitter), Arun Bharti said, “If Rahul Gandhi truly has evidence of vote theft, he should go to court. Making baseless accusations in the press won’t help. The one who has proof doesn’t shout in rallies — he files a case in court. Spreading misinformation won’t change the truth.” Rahul Gandhi’s Allegation After the first phase of Bihar elections concluded peace...
