The Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) conducted a legislative orientation program in Patna for its Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) and Members of the Legislative Council (MLCs). Led by Nitish Kumar, the session focused on strengthening the legislative understanding of elected representatives, covering topics such as parliamentary procedures, the law-making process, House committees, and the state budget.

Beyond legislative training, the party addressed several political matters. Regarding the Uniform Civil Code (UCC), party representatives stated they intend to review the proposed draft once it is made public before finalizing their position. Other discussions included the Farakka water treaty, which is set to expire in December 2026, and internal party matters such as potential leadership candidates and suggestions to rename the party to ‘Janata Dal Nitish’.
