RJD’s national vice president, Shivanand Tiwari, addressed concerns about the party’s solo bid in Jharkhand, asserting that their campaign would not harm national interests. "We won't sabotage India's prospects by going solo," he emphasized, clarifying that the RJD's goal is to strengthen democracy and represent the people effectively.

Tiwari expressed confidence in the party’s ability to secure a significant voter base, highlighting the RJD's grassroots connections and commitment to addressing local issues. The party's focus will remain on promoting welfare initiatives and development plans tailored to the needs of Jharkhand's residents.
