The Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) has declared its non-participation in the forthcoming 2025 Bihar Legislative Assembly elections. The party has pointed fingers at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, accusing them of being responsible for this outcome. A statement from the JMM indicated that a lack of mutual understanding and perceived disregard for the party’s interests by its alliance partners were the primary reasons for opting out. This decision is expected to reshape the political narrative in Bihar, as the JMM was a key constituent of the opposition alliance. The absence of the JMM could create new opportunities for other political outfits and alter the balance of power. As the election year approaches, the ramifications of this alliance rupture will be keenly observed across the political spectrum in Bihar.
