Patna: The Bharatiya Janata Party has won the by-election in Bihar's Kudhani assembly seat. In this election, Bharatiya Janata Party's Kedar Gupta defeated Janata Dal United's candidate Manoj Kushwaha fighting on behalf of Grand Alliance. Lalu Yadav's party Rashtriya Janata Dal has blamed Nitish Kumar for the defeat in the Kudni by-election. Even the former MLA of the party demanded Nitish Kumar to resign from the post of Chief Minister and hand over the post to Tejashwi Yadav. 

Former MLA of Rashtriya Janata Dal from Kudhani, Anil Sahni said that this defeat is not of the Grand Alliance. This defeat is of Nitish Kumar. We lost this election because of the stubbornness of Nitish Kumar. He did not even go to campaign in Gopaganj and Mokama. He said that the way Tejashwi Yadav sacrificed the party symbol in the by-election. Similarly, Nitish Kumar should also resign from the post of Chief Minister and Tejashwi Yadav should be made the Chief Minister to strengthen the Grand Alliance.

Voting was held for the Kudhani by-election in Bihar on 5 December. BJP's Kedar Prasad Gupta has won from here in the results that came on Thursday. BJP has defeated Janata Dal-United by around 3,645 votes. Here BJP got 76,653 votes and Janata Dal-United got 73,008 votes. Before the Lok Sabha elections, the Kudhani assembly by-election was being considered a semi-final in the politics of Bihar. These by-elections were held after the disqualification of the Rashtriya Janata Dal MLA from the Kudhani assembly seat, Anil Sahni by the MP-MLA court. On this seat, instead of Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal-United fielded its candidate. Rashtriya Janata Dal's Kedar Gupta was in the fray in the 2020 elections, who lost by just 712 votes.
