All eyes on Bihar as counting begins amid tight security
Following the NDA's landslide victory in the Bihar elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi reached the BJP headquarters and addressed party workers. PM Modi said that the people of Bihar have voted for a developed and prosperous Bihar. He also said that the era of the 'Katta Sarkar' will not return.
Referring to the opposition's 'MY' appeasement formula, PM Modi said that today in Bihar, it has a new meaning in the form of women and youth. He said that the aspirations of youth and women have completely destroyed the old MY formula. Bihar has the highest number of youth, and people from every religion and caste are included in it.
As NDA moves toward a historic victory in the Bihar elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has reached the BJP headquarters. He is set to address the party leaders and workers shortly.
RJD Chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav has left his residence for the party headquarters. Meanwhile, the Election Commission has declared results for 99 seats so far, out of which the NDA has won 85, while the Mahagathbandhan has secured victory on 10 seats.
As the NDA heads toward a historic victory in the Bihar elections, senior leaders have begun gathering at the BJP headquarters. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, and BJP President JP Nadda have all arrived to review the developments and celebrate the unfolding results.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar expressed his gratitude on X, saying, “The people of the state have given us a massive mandate in this election and reaffirmed their faith in our government. I bow to all respected voters of Bihar and thank them from the bottom of my heart.”
He also thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his support, adding, “I express my heartfelt gratitude to the Hon’ble Prime Minister for his constant cooperation.”
Nitish Kumar further said that the NDA displayed complete unity in this election, which led to the overwhelming victory. He extended his thanks to alliance partners Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Upendra Kushwaha, saying, “With everyone’s support, Bihar will move further ahead and will soon be counted among India’s most developed states.”
The results of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections in the Chhapra constituency have reached a highly interesting and emotional turn, where RJD candidate and Bhojpuri star Khesari Lal Yadav, after initially leading in the trends, is now trailing. By the end of 13 rounds of counting, BJP's Chhoti Kumari had already taken a lead of 7,739 votes. Seeing the growing gap, Khesari Lal Yadav became visibly emotional and left the counting hall mid-counting. Khesari said, "People are good, I will always be with them."
Khesari Lal Yadav, who emerged amid fears of defeat, told the media, "People are very good, people are never bad... I will always be among the people. I will say it when I have to. I trust God, not anyone else."
Prime Minister Narendra Modi's first reaction has come out after the NDA's landslide victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. PM Modi described the result as a victory for development, good governance, and social justice. He said that the historic mandate given by the people of Bihar to the NDA reflects the public's trust in stability and decisive leadership in the state.
Responding to the election results via tweet, PM Modi said, "This is a victory for the spirit of social justice and public welfare. I am deeply grateful to my family members in Bihar who have blessed the NDA with an unprecedented victory in the 2025 Assembly elections. This overwhelming mandate will give us the strength to serve the people and work with renewed resolve for Bihar."
The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections are not living up to expectations for the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) like in previous years. The party appears headed for its worst performance this time. Tejashwi Yadav may not only abandon his dream of becoming Chief Minister, but also face difficulties in securing the post of Leader of the Opposition.
According to the latest trends, the RJD is leading in only 24-25 seats. A minimum of 25 MLAs are required to become the Leader of the Opposition in the Bihar Assembly. This means the RJD needs to win 25 seats to secure the post of Leader of the Opposition on its own. If the party remains stuck at 24 seats, Tejashwi Yadav and the RJD will not be able to secure the post.
The results of the Bihar Assembly elections are due shortly. Trends indicate that the NDA is poised to once again capture power in Bihar by winning over 200 seats.
This time, the BJP appears to be winning with a record number of seats.
The equations emerging based on the trends are both interesting and surprising. The BJP is poised to become the largest party in the state.
If current trends are considered a baseline, and if these trends hold, the BJP could form government in the state even without JDU. This means the BJP will not need Nitish Kumar to form a government.
It can form a government by excluding JDU and joining forces with other NDA allies.
Bihar elections deliver a major blow to Congress as the party is leading on just one seat.
