After 15 years, the Bihar Assembly elections of 2025 have witnessed a stunning repeat of the NDA’s dominance. The ruling coalition has decisively uprooted the Mahagathbandhan, with several senior leaders of the opposition struggling to protect their political legacy. Much credit is being attributed to Bihar’s female electorate, whose support proved crucial for Nitish Kumar and his allies, leaving the Mahagathbandhan scrambling to understand the outcome.
NDA’s Triumph
The early trends from the Election Commission indicate that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is leading on nearly 200 seats, well above the majority mark of 122. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has emerged as the single largest party, leading in 93 constituencies, marking a historic victory for the party in Bihar in the last 45 years. This reflects a significant political shift in the state’s landscape.
