The people of the state have given NDA a huge majority in the Bihar Assembly elections. Out of 243 seats in the state, NDA has got more than 200 seats. BJP and JDU have once again reiterated the historic majority they got in 2010. In this election, the state’s main opposition party RJD has repeated its worst performance in its history.

Reasons for NDA’s victory

1. Nitish Kumar

After being in power for 20 years, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JDU not only countered the anti-incumbency wave but also won more than 80 seats. NDA getting more than 200 seats is an indication of Nitish Kumar becoming the Chief Minister again. This result has ruined Tejashwi Yadav’s efforts to make himself the next leader of Bihar. The contradiction of youth versus experience that dominated the opposition’s electoral battle could not be translated into votes.

2. Chirag Paswan

Chirag Paswan has made a spectacular comeback in this election. After winning only one seat in 2020, his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) contested 29 seats and won 19 seats. Chirag’s appeal played an important role in consolidating Paswan votes, among young voters and Dalit communities.

3. Asaduddin Owaisi and AIMIM

Asaduddin Owaisi led All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) performed brilliantly in Seemanchal region of Bihar. His party won the seats of Jokihat (Araria), Kochadhaman (Kishanganj), Amour (Purnia), Baisi (Purnia), Bahadurganj (Kishanganj). He had also won in Jokihat, Kochadhaman, Amour and Baisi in the last elections, but later their MLAs joined RJD.

4. Women voters

Women voters played an important role in giving such a big victory to NDA in the 2025 assembly elections. For the first time in the electoral history of Bihar, women voted more than men. Their voting percentage decisively turned towards the NDA. In Bihar, men voted 62.8 percent and women voted 71.6 percent. Welfare schemes for women helped strengthen support among poor and backward communities, including the Rs 10,000 Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana.

5. National Democratic Alliance (NDA)

NDA’s smaller allies Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM), Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) and Chirag Paswan’s LJP (R) performed strongly in the elections. HAM won five out of six seats, LJP (R) won 20 and RLM four seats.

reason to lose

1. Tejashwi Yadav and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)

The Grand Alliance had nominated Tejashwi Yadav for the post of Chief Minister after much political turmoil, but he was unable to convert any anti-incumbency wave into votes against Nitish Kumar. However, he conquered his stronghold at Raghopur. This is the second worst performance in RJD’s electoral history after 22 seats in 2010. This time RJD got only 25 seats. RJD had emerged as the largest party in the 2020 assembly elections. Then it started to seem that after Lalu Yadav, Tejashwi has taken over RJD very strongly.

2. Rahul Gandhi

In the Bihar Assembly elections, Congress contested 61 seats and could win only six seats. State Congress President Rajesh Ram lost from Kutumba seat. The six Congress candidates who won include Surendra Prasad (Valmiki Nagar), Abhishek Ranjan (Chanpatia), Manoj Biswas (Forbesganj), Abidur Rehman (Araria), Mohammad Kamrul Hoda (Kishanganj) and Manohar Prasad Singh (Manihari). The issue of vote theft by Rahul Gandhi pales in front of the people of Bihar.

However, it was also discussed in the political circles that Rahul Gandhi was not happy with the seat distribution. This is the reason why Congress had sent former Rajasthan CM Ashok Gehlot to Patna to announce the CM face on behalf of the Grand Alliance. In 2020, Congress had contested elections on 70 seats, but could win only 19 seats, which was a big blow to the grand alliance’s hopes of forming the government. Despite Rahul Gandhi’s Voters’ Rights March, campaign against allegations of vote theft and Special Intensive Revision (SIR), the party struggled to connect with voters.

3. Prashant Kishore

Political strategist turned leader Prashant Kishor’s party had to face a crushing defeat in the 2025 Bihar elections. Even after two years of padyatra and considerable popularity, Jan Suraj could not leave any impact and got less votes than NOTA. Prashanti Kishore’s slogan of Development First was not very effective. His decision not to contest the elections himself created further confusion about the direction of the party. Prashant Kishore did not get anything, but he spoiled the game of Tejashwi Yadav.

4. Mukesh Sahni

Mukesh Sahni, who was projected as a major challenger in the Seemanchal region, was declared the face of the Grand Alliance for the post of Deputy Chief Minister. Despite this could not perform well. His Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) chief Mukesh Sahni calls himself the Son of Mallah, but he failed to get votes in many seats belonging to the extremely backward caste. His Nishad vote bank also moved towards NDA due to welfare schemes.

5. India Alliance

The India alliance has suffered a major setback before many important elections including Bengal and Tamil Nadu. Differences over seat distribution and unclear leadership led to the party’s poor performance. BJP won 89 seats, JDU won 89, LJP (R) 19, HAM 5, RLM won 5 seats, while the opposition won only 35 seats. The Left parties failed to maintain their earlier influence.

The speed with which the counting of votes for Bihar Assembly elections proceeded till the afternoon, made it clear that this time the wind is completely blowing in favor of NDA. The initial trends had created the atmosphere, and now the lead figures seem to almost confirm that NDA is going to regain power in Bihar. The continuously rising graph of the count has indicated that Nitish Kumar has once again reached the threshold of assuming the post of Chief Minister.

In this election, there was a direct contest between the NDA and the Grand Alliance. There was vigorous campaigning from both sides, but the trends show that this time the public has once again made up its mind to hand over the reins to the NDA. Let’s see some funny memes.

The condition of the RJD-Congress alliance also looks like this – ‘Brother, if not the result, at least give confidence!’ It was written in a meme-

‘Nehru ji is watching Congress’s performance live on his birthday.’ Nehru Jayanti is celebrated on 14 November. Seeing the condition of Congress, social media started spreading this meme in such a way that the entire timeline turned blue.

Prashant Kishor has been attacked by mimes, in which there is a superhit scene with 3 idiots in which Prashant Kishor is seen checking the results. People had expectations about JSP i.e. Jan Suraj Party, but the trend almost wiped out the party.

‘Check from below, from below!’

The second meme is the one in which Manoj Bajpayee’s dialogue is there, in which Prashant Kishore’s face is visible.

“I am left far behind, brother?” And JSP logo is visible next to it.

The Grand Alliance is also being ridiculed. A meme with Tejashwi Yadav’s photo is going viral. In which it is written, ‘And when finally our turn came to become the Chief Minister, the exit poll also turned out to be correct!’

A meme shows a scene from the film Pushpa, in which Allu Arjun is seen. In which Bihar voter was seen looking at Rahul Gandhi and saying-

‘I came to your rally, so did you consider me as your voter? No, I am a fan of your comedy.
