Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi Absent on Bihar Election Counting Day, Skipped Nehru Tribute

New Delhi: The results of the Bihar Legislative Assembly elections are out, delivering a landslide victory to the NDA and a crushing defeat to the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).

Post-Bihar Elections, Allies Question Congress’s Role in the Grand Alliance

New Delhi: The Bihar Assembly election results have not only confirmed the NDA’s sweeping victory but also raised serious questions within the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) regarding the relevance of Congress as a partner.

Overall, the Grand Alliance has struggled to make a mark, with its total tally possibly falling below 30 seats. Political analysts suggest that even if constituent parties had contested separately, the results might ha...
