# RJD Dissolves Bihar Units After Bankipur Bypoll Defeat 2026-08-07T09:44:50+00:00 | Politics | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The Rashtriya Janata Dal has dissolved all its organisational units in Bihar, including district, block and panchayat committees and affiliated cells. The decision was announced by state president Mangani Lal Mandal on Thursday evening, after the party’s candidate Rekha Gupta forfeited her deposit in the Bankipur Assembly bypoll. The party said committees would be reconstituted across the state at the earliest. RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said the move was intended to strengthen the organisation and put dedicated, capable workers in charge. The decision follows a public exchange between Virendra and Shakti Singh Yadav, who blamed each other for weakening the party’s organisation after the defeat. ## Coverage - news.abplive.com Tags: Bankipur bypoll, Bihar politics, party organisation, RJD Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/rjd-dissolves-bihar-units-after-bankipur-bypoll-defeat/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
