In the second-worst performance in its history, the RJD was reduced to just 25 seats when the results of the Bihar Assembly polls were announced on Friday, making way for a historic win by the ruling NDA coalition led by JD(U)'s Nitish Kumar.

The NDA showcased a spectacular win by winning 202 out of the 243 seats, with BJP emerging as the largest party with most number of seats at 89, followed by JDU at 85.

In its first reaction to the defeat, RJD said "ups and downs are inevitable" in public service.

"Public service is an unceasing process, an endless journey! Ups and downs are inevitable in it. No sorrow in defeat, no arrogance in victory! The Rashtriya Janata Dal is the party of the poor, it will continue to raise their voice among the poor!," the party said in a post on X.
