In a significant political development, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) will not be contesting the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. A senior party official, speaking anonymously, attributed the decision to a lack of cooperation and unmet expectations from its allies, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress. The official stated that the JMM felt its concerns were not adequately addressed, leading to an untenable position for participation. This withdrawal from the Bihar electoral fray is seen as a major blow to the opposition’s efforts to present a united front against the current government. Political analysts are closely watching how this split will influence voter sentiment and the overall dynamics of the 2025 Bihar elections. The JMM’s decision underscores the complexities of coalition politics and the challenges in maintaining strategic alignment among diverse political parties aiming for electoral success.
