NDA Begins Government Formation in Bihar Amid Fallout in RJD

Following a landslide victory securing 202 of 243 seats, the NDA has begun government formation talks in Bihar, with a swearing-in ceremony expected around November 19-20. The election's aftermath has triggered turmoil within the opposition RJD, with Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya announcing she is quitting politics and "disowning" her family. Meanwhile, former Union Minister R.K. Singh resigned from the BJP hours after being suspended for "anti-party activities" during the campaign.
