The Story in Brief
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.
The Indian Opinion
Calling a complete organisational reset either a masterstroke or proof of collapse would be premature. The immediate fact is harsher: the RJD’s Bankipur candidate lost her deposit, while leaders publicly argued over the party’s machinery. Rebuilding committees may improve local work, but new titles alone will not change electoral performance. The useful test is whether the reconstituted units deliver stronger booth-level organisation and better results in the next contest.
