JD(U) leader Sanjay Jha has claimed that his party remains an indispensable force in Bihar's political landscape, arguing that no political party can conduct politics in the state without the JD(U). The remarks underscore the party's efforts to consolidate its position ahead of key electoral contests.
Jha asserted that the 2025 Bihar assembly election was fundamentally contested on the political face and leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The statement reflects the JD(U)'s strategy to position itself as the principal force driving the state's political agenda and governance.
The JD(U), which has been a major player in Bihar politics for over two decades, has maintained its position through various electoral alliances and governance partnerships. Jha's comments appear designed to reinforce the party's bargaining power in coalition politics while consolidating its voter base ahead of the assembly elections.
The assertion comes as Bihar prepares for crucial electoral contests that will determine the political trajectory of the state in coming years. The JD(U) continues to project itself as a necessary stakeholder in any political arrangement seeking to govern the state.
