The picture of Bihar elections has become clear. NDA is on the way to a record victory with 203 seats out of 243, while the Grand Alliance is getting only 35 seats. NDA is gaining more than 70 seats compared to 2020, the Grand Alliance is suffering the same loss. The worst situation is that of Congress, which is getting only 4 seats. Congress has once again lost the assembly elections. But this is not a new thing, in fact if we look at the figures from 2014 to 2025, then Congress must have got used to defeat.

So let us understand in ABP Explainer how many elections Congress lost in the last 11 years, in which states it lost and what is the trend of Congress defeat…

Question 1- How many Lok Sabha elections have been held in the country from 2014 to 2025?
answer- Lok Sabha elections have been held thrice in the last 11 years. Lok Sabha elections are held every 5 years and cover three complete cycles over a period of 11 years.

• First election- It took place in 2014 for the 16th Lok Sabha, when voting was completed in 9 phases from 7 April to 12 May. There were 8,251 candidates in the fray for a total of 543 seats. There was 66.4 percent voting, which was the highest figure till that time. In the results, BJP won 282 seats, which was more than the majority of 272 seats, while Congress got only 44 seats. Due to this election, Congress was out of power at the Centre.
• Second election- It took place in 2019 for the 17th Lok Sabha, when voting was completed in 7 phases from 11 April to 19 May. Here too 543 seats were at stake. 67.4 percent voting took place and BJP won 303 seats, while Congress got only 52 seats.
• Third election- For the 18th Lok Sabha in 2024. Elections were held in 7 phases from 19 April to 1 June. 65.79% voting took place and BJP got 240 seats, while NDA got a total of 293 seats. Narendra Modi became Prime Minister for the third time. Congress got 99 seats in this election, which was its best performance after 2014.

These elections made national politics BJP-centric, where the NDA led by Narendra Modi formed strong governments, but the balance was slightly upset by the unity of the opposition in 2024. Now the next elections will be held in 2029.

In the first phase, Nitish Kumar and Jitan Ram Manjhi were tested on the credibility of NDA, whereas in the second phase, it is considered to be the real test of BJP. RJD and Congress have to prove their strength in the grand alliance, while it will be challenging for Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM to save its credibility in Seemanchal.

Bihar Election 2025: The dates of Bihar assembly elections will be announced today. The election schedule will be released by the Chief Election Commissioner at 4 pm and with this, the code of conduct will also be implemented in the state. In such a situation, the eyes of all political parties are on the election dates. The commission has already made it clear that the elections will end before 22 November 2025 as the tenure of the current assembly is ending on this day.
In the Bihar assembly elections, there can be a direct contest between many veterans, but do you know that even a common man can contest elections. The Constitution of India empowers every citizen to contest elections, however, some conditions have to be fulfilled for this. Come, let us know how much fees are spent to contest Bihar assembly elections and how to nominate.

How much fees are there to contest Bihar assembly elections?

Very few people know that fees have to be paid to contest elections, which is called security deposit. These fees have to be deposited at the time of filing nomination. If the candidate is from the general category, then he has to give 10,000. At the same time, if the candidate comes from the Scheduled Castes or Scheduled Tribes, then he has to pay 5,000 fees. This rule has been implemented under the Representation of the Public Representation Act of 1951. If the candidate gets very few votes in the election, then this security fee is confiscated. However, if the candidate gets full votes, then this fee can also be returned.

How can you also enroll

When the official announcement of the election is made, then the process of filing nomination begins. Under this, the candidate has to fill a nomination form. It is necessary to give name, address, date of birth, education information, property and if there is a criminal case, then it is necessary to give information about it. On the other hand, if you are contesting from a party, then only a proposer is needed. If you are an independent candidate, then you need at least 10 proposals, which should be voters of the same assembly constituency. After the nomination form is filed, the returning officer examines all his documents. If all the information is correct, the nomination is accepted.

Election Commission gave this big information

The Election Commission said that now there will be no more than 1200 voters at any polling booth. This system will improve both voting process and security. BLO (BOUSH Level Officer) will now contact voters directly and they have been provided ID cards for ease of identity. Apart from this, the facility to vote by depositing mobiles has also been started, so that voters do not bring mobile to polling booths.

100% webcasting at polling station

The Chief Election Commissioner said that one-stop digital platform will be implemented in Bihar. Now every candidate can deploy his agent up to 100 meters from the booth. All polling stations will have 100% webcasting. The EVM will now have colorful photos and ballot paper with colorful photos and serial numbers instead of black and white ballot paper, which will make the identity of the candidates easier and make the voting process transparent.

Large claims are being made before the assembly elections to be held in Bihar this year (2025). On Wednesday (August 06, 2025) from RJD, a big statement came that about two dozen MLAs of JDU would leave the party. JDU is going to break a lot. This statement has been made by RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari.

Mrityunjay Tiwari said that there is resentment among JDU MLAs regarding SIR. 25-30 thousand votes were cut from every assembly constituency. JDU MLAs are afraid of defeat. The sword is hanging on them how they will win the election.

‘Heavy outrage inside JDU MLAs’

The RJD leader further said that the voting rights of the poor exploited underprivileged were taken from the voter list. All these JDU MLAs are watching and there is a lot of resentment in them. Nitish Kumar is silent because he is understanding the truth. Nitish is facing the anger of his MLAs, so he is silent.

It further said, “If the JDU MLAs come, then in the Grand Alliance, because the Grand Alliance is going to be formed after the election. If you have courage, then the Election Commission has released the list of names of 65 lakh voters whose names have been cut by the Election Commission and why the name should be cut. The Election Commission is working as a BJP commission.”

JDU reversed RJD’s statement

RJD’s claim was described by JDU as false. National spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan said that the first RJD should take over his party. Don’t know who will go to where the leader goes. RJD is angry with the unprecedented success of the voter list revision campaign. Fear of defeat is harassing. Tejashwi does not know whether his name is in the voter list or not, but the party is at the forefront of making various claims. The public will not come in the claim of RJD. They should accept defeat.

Congress leader Udit Raj has supported the statement of Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi in the Lok Sabha, in which he has accused of rigging Maharashtra elections. Udit Raj targeted the Election Commission and said that he (ECI) has not responded to the names of fake voters and removal.

Speaking to IANS, on Saturday (June 7, 2025), the Congress leader said that Rahul Gandhi talks with the fact. The Election Commission reached an agreement. Fake votes were cast, which the Election Commission has not been able to answer. The government of Maharashtra is a government of dishonest people. There has been a scam in EVMs in this election.

Congress leader raised questions on Election Commission
Udit Raj said that the Election Commission did not even explain how the number of voters added in 5 months can be more than the number of voters added in 5 years? Congress leader Udit Raj said that the Election Commission has also refused to give video footage. He further said that whenever questions arise on the Election Commission, the BJP becomes his shield, there is an elected autocracy in India.

BJP aiadmk alliance: BJP and AIADMK announced an alliance for the 2026 Tamil Nadu assembly elections last week. However, now Edappadi’s about this alliance. Palaniswami’s big statement has come. The AIADMK Chief has now turned the BJP’s intentions. They want the coalition to be successful in defeating the ruling DMK-Congress alliance.

According to Palaniswami’s comments, the Tamil party will not accept the coalition government and the alliance with the BJP is only for the assembly elections. Ignoring the comments of AIADMK supremo Palaniswami, the BJP insisted that their attention is on defeating the ruling DMK. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing happiness over the AIADMK’s decision to join the BJP -led National Alliance (NDA) earlier, posted on X that it would be strong together.

Palaniswami shared the stage with Amit Shah in the past
These comments of Palaniswami are contrary to the comments of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, with whom he shared the stage last week, announcing the AIADMK-BJP alliance. During that time, Amit Shah had said that both parties will contest elections to be held next year and the Tamil party has not placed any conditions.

Palaniswami praised PM Modi
He said that we have decided that AIADMK, BJP and all coalition parties will contest the upcoming assembly elections in Tamil Nadu together as NDA. At that time, Palaniswami also described this alliance based on a common approach to Tamil Nadu’s progress and prosperity and praised PM Modi’s unwavering support for the development of Tamil Nadu.

There are reports that some AIADMK leaders are unhappy about the alliance with BJP. He believes that this may have to bear the brunt of the votes of minority communities. The track record of AIADMK-BJP alliance has not been very good in the last three major elections in the state and in the Lok Sabha elections of 2019 and 2024.

In 2021, AIADMK aligned with BJP and won only 75 seats. The DMK and the Congress alliance had dropped him out of power. In the 2019 and 2024 general elections, there was a similar defeat. BJP contested 28 seats in these 2 elections and did not win a single seat.

One nation one election news: The tenure of the Joint Committee of Parliament constituted to consider the Bills proposed to conduct the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections in India simultaneously has now been extended. This decision was taken on Tuesday (March 25) when the committee was entrusted with the task that it would present its report by the last week of this year.

The 39-member Joint Committee formed to consider the two Bills submitted with the objective of holding the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections simultaneously- ‘Constitution (129th Amendment) Bill, 2024’ and ‘Union Territory of Law (Amendment) Bill, 2024’ now proposed to extend the tenure. The chairman of the committee and BJP MP PP Chaudhary kept this proposal in the Lok Sabha, which was approved by the House. This committee has been given time to make intensive views and final recommendations on these bills.

Deadline set for committee report

These bills were introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 17 last year and now the committee has been directed to submit the report by the first week of the upcoming monsoon session. These bills are in the direction of implementing a step under which elections of Lok Sabha and Assembly can be conducted simultaneously. Due to this, there is a possibility of saving time in the election process and better use of resources.

Committee supported under the chairmanship of former President

The proposal is based on the basis of the high-level committee constituted under the chairmanship of former President Ram Nath Kovind, which supported the concept of ‘one nation-one election’. Accepting the recommendations of this committee, the Union Cabinet introduced two bills, one of which is the Constitution Amendment Bill and the other is the Union Territory of Law (Amendment) Bill.

Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla constituted a 39 -member joint parliamentary committee under the chairmanship of PP Chaudhary in this regard which is considering these bills. Now the committee will have to submit its report in the Lok Sabha within the stipulated time. If these bills are passed then they will indicate a major change in the election process.
