After the resounding victory of the NDA in Bihar, all eyes are now on who will be the next Chief Minister. Questions are swirling over whether Nitish Kumar will continue in the role or if there will be a change. On this, Chirag Paswan—often called PM Modi’s “Hanuman”—has broken his silence.
Who Will Be the Next CM?
In the Bihar Assembly elections, the ruling NDA stunned everyone with a historic performance, handing a decisive defeat to the opposition Mahagathbandhan. With the BJP emerging as the largest party and JDU securing a strong second position, the question naturally arose: who will lead Bihar as the next Chief Minister?
When asked whether Nitish Kumar should continue as CM, Chirag Paswan, President of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), expressed full confidence that Nitish Kumar will remain in office. He blamed the Mahagathbandhan’s humiliating loss on the arrogance of opposition leaders Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi. According to Paswan, the electorate’s trust in NDA’s unity was key to delivering this decisive victory.
“Bihar First, Bihari First”
Chirag Paswan emphasized that the people of Bihar once again made the right decision at the right time. “We always focus on ‘Bihar First, Bihari First.’ If the NDA had stayed united in 2020, our performance would have been even stronger. RJD would not have crossed 25 seats back then,” he said.
Firm Endorsement for Nitish Kumar
On being asked about Bihar’s next Chief Minister, Paswan said unequivocally: “I have full confidence that Nitish Kumar will continue as Chief Minister. The opposition’s crushing defeat is solely due to their arrogance, which led to their downfall. Our overwhelming victory reflects the strength of the ‘double-engine’ government—Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the center and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in the state. The people of Bihar have expressed full faith in the unity of NDA partners, which delivered this triumph.”
LJP-R Performance in Bihar Elections
Chirag Paswan’s LJP (Ram Vilas) contested 29 seats in the 2025 Assembly elections, winning 19 of them. The party achieved a strike rate of nearly 65–70%. Notably, 17 of these 19 seats were previously held by the Mahagathbandhan in 2020. The combined performance of BJP, JDU, and LJP-R helped the NDA cross the 200-seat mark, ensuring a historic mandate.
If you want, I can also condense this into a punchy front-page version emphasizing Nitish Kumar’s likely continuation as CM and NDA’s overwhelming mandate. Do you want me to do that?
