Bhubaneswar: In a dramatic electoral outcome, the NDA has returned to power in Bihar with a commanding 153-seat majority, marking one of the alliance’s strongest performances in recent years. The results reaffirm Nitish Kumar’s political resilience, bringing him back to power despite what the NDA alleges was a “relentless campaign of misinformation” by opposition parties.
A major highlight of the election has been Chirag Paswan’s impressive performance, with the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) securing a significant vote share and emerging as a major force within the NDA bloc. Paswan’s growing popularity, especially among the youth, is being seen as a key factor in the alliance’s sweeping victory.
The ruling partners JDU and BJP dominated the electoral battlefield, securing a majority of constituencies and pushing the RJD—led by Tejashwi Yadav—into a distant position. Political analysts say the results reflect both a consolidation of NDA’s core voter base and a broader acceptance of its development narrative.
For the RJD-led opposition, the election marks a major setback, with Tejashwi Yadav struggling to hold ground despite aggressive campaigning.
As celebrations continue across the state, Nitish Kumar’s return marks yet another chapter in Bihar’s evolving political landscape—one shaped by shifting alliances, strong personalities, and a decisive voter mandate.
