Suspense Crime, Digital Desk : Upendra Kushwaha News: The 10 seats of the MLCs in Bihar are now decided, all unanimously elected. While RLM, one of the constituents, should have got one seat but it was denied.
An MLC seat was promised to Upendra Kushwaha’s RLM, an NDA constituent during the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. At the time a press release was issued by Bihar BJP state president.

Actually the 10 seats in the Legislative Council in Bihar was recently decided, and all the seats went unanimously. Although one of the seats was to be given to the RLM but that could not happen. Following this the condition of Upendra Kushwaha’s son and minister in the government Deepak Prakash, stands threatened.
'...so the lamp was extinguished'
Post surfacing of the BJP's press release, the matter has taken a political turn as well. RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed stated that, “the lamp was extinguished so that a new leadership of Kushwaha could not emerge. And darkness set in as once again how the BJP betrays its allies and ruins it's relations is clearly evident from the fact that even the written assurance could not be kept, even though rules were defied for the double election of Deepak Prakash as minister."
Dilip Jaiswal stated - I cannot comment
When asked about the letter regarding giving one MLC seat to the RLM, the then Bihar BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal stated, "At this moment I am not the state president, therefore I can not comment on the issue, and do not know what transacted between the leadership and RLM. Some discussions were held with the allies at the time of seat sharing during Assembly elections, but Upendra Kushwaha moved to Rajya Sabha after that, developments occurred, and I would prefer to hold back on further comments for now."
It is worth noting that a total of nine seats were vacated and for one, a by-election was conducted. Among the NDA constituents, the BJP contested 4 seats while the JDU put up candidates for 4. LJP Ram Vilas Paswan put up a candidate for 1 seat, all of which went unanimously. The RJD's Sunil Singh managed to win one seat.
