On one side, the “Nemo wave” swept across the state, and on the other, the NDA skillfully leveraged the women’s vote, first-time voters, and the deep public memory of Jungle Raj.The result was unprecedented—Bihar’s opposition was almost wiped out. Even today, the people of Bihar vividly recall a time when stepping out of homes after 4–6 PM was considered unsafe.Looting, murder, kidnapping, and rape had become disturbingly common. And most tragically, many of these crimes enjoyed political protection.

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. BJP’s New ‘Giant Killer’Satish Singh contested the Raghopur seat on a BJP ticket. Known in political circles as a calm, grassroots leader with strong local connections, his victory proves that in Bihar, personal influence at the constituency level can outweigh even the biggest political names.

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...

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. For over three decades, JD(U) under Nitish Kumar has been a key ally of the BJP. However, Nitish has occasionally changed political alignments, creating challenges for his partners. This time, early trends suggest that even if the final results remain consistent, BJP may secure a majority without needing JD(U), leaving Nitish Kumar with little leverage in Bihar politics. BJP Could Form Government Without NitishAs of 3 PM, the counting indicates that BJP is not only emerging as the single largest party but is also on track to cross the majority mark with the support of NDA’s other allies, even without JD(U).
