Tejashwi Yadav’s Premature Claim Highlights the Perils of Overconfidence in Elections

Bhopal: Bihar’s 2025 Assembly elections may witness a major political upset. As current trends indicate, the NDA is emerging as the single largest party, leaving the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and its Mahagathbandhan allies trailing. Experts suggest that Tejashwi Yadav may now have to wait another five years for a chance to become Chief Minister. Repeating Nakulnath’s MistakeElections always bring a surge of excitement in Indian politics, whether in a metropolitan center or a remote constituency.

Who is Satish Singh? The Big Upset in Raghopur That Left Tejashwi Yadav Behind

Hajipur: The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections have produced one of the biggest surprises at the Raghopur constituency. Tejashwi Yadav, the Chief Ministerial candidate of the Mahagathbandhan, who was widely expected to win from this RJD stronghold, has been trailing behind. The unexpected leader who overtook him is BJP’s candidate Satish Singh, a relatively lesser-known figure who has now become the center of political attention overnight.

Bihar Election Victory Strategists: Dharmendra Pradhan and Vinod Tawde Likely to Receive Top Party Honors

New Delhi: The spectacular victory of the NDA in the Bihar Assembly elections is being attributed to the BJP’s aggressive campaign strategy and the popular Modi-Nitish alliance. The credit for this decisive win is being given to BJP strategists Dharmendra Pradhan and Vinod Tawde, who played a crucial role in strengthening the organization and selecting candidates strategically. According to trends, the NDA comfortably crossed the majority mark, while the Mahagathbandhan remains far from the magic number. Even the Congress, a national party, is ahead in just five seats. The BJP’s campaign, marked by a strong anti-Mahagathbandhan stance and Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighting the issue of “jungle raj,” resonated deeply with voters, reminding them of Lalu Prasad Yadav’s controversial...

Why Nitish Kumar Can No Longer Switch Sides: BJP-JD(U) Power Equation Shifts in Bihar

Patna: The Bihar Assembly election vote count is underway, and trends emerging from the first half of counting indicate a significant shift in the state’s political landscape.
