After being elected leader of the NDA legislative party, Nitish Kumar will again go to Raj Bhavan and stake claim to form the new government.

Formation of new government is necessary before 22 November
The tenure of the current 17th Assembly is ending on 22 November. Before this, it is necessary to complete the entire process of formation of the new (18th) Assembly and oath of the new government. However, no new concrete information has come to light regarding the date of swearing in.

In the initial trends of Bihar Assembly elections, Chirag Paswan’s party, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), is seen breaking the record of his father Ram Vilas Paswan. The party seems to be getting a lead in 22 out of 29 seats, which is equal to the highest victory achieved so far in Ram Vilas Paswan’s career.

Elections in alliance with NDA
This time LJP contested the elections in alliance with BJP and JDU led NDA. Political analysts say that Chirag Paswan established himself as a clear and strong leader of the party, due to which the party got this great lead.

Can break Ram Vilas Paswan’s record
Ram Vilas Paswan had won a maximum of 22 assembly seats in his entire political career. This time Chirag Paswan can break this record of his father. Out of Chirag’s 29 candidates, there are 10 candidates who were already supported by the party or alliance.

NDA’s position strong
In Bihar, NDA is leading on 194 seats out of total 243 seats. At the same time, the performance of the Grand Alliance has been the weakest so far. RJD is leading on 34 seats, Congress on 7 and Left parties on 4 seats.

Political skills and leadership
Analysts say that the top leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the support of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar were important in this success. Chirag Paswan presented himself as a new energy and young leader, which gained the trust of the public.

Let us tell you that this time the distribution of seats in NDA for Bihar Assembly elections was such that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s party Janata Dal United (JDU) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) contested on 101-101 seats. At the same time, Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s party Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) got 29 seats. Former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and Rajya Sabha member Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLPA) have got six seats each.

last assembly election
In the 2020 assembly elections, JDU contested 115 seats, BJP 110 and HAM contested seven seats. At that time, Chirag Paswan’s LJP had separated from NDA and fielded candidates on 135 seats. In 2020, LJP had won only one seat – Matiyani. However, the MLA from that seat later changed sides and joined JDU.

In the initial trends of counting of votes for Bihar Assembly elections, the picture looks disappointing for Prashant Kishor’s party Jansuraj, with the BJP-led NDA taking the lead. In the initial trends, the party does not seem to be getting even a single seat at present. Responding to this, party president Manoj Bharti said that his party itself failed to convey its message properly to the people.

Manoj Bharti’s statement
Bihar Jansuraj President Manoj Bharti said, ‘We were trying to bring new politics in Bihar from the beginning. It is not an easy task to convey this to the public. Prashant Kishore always used to say that if people understand what we say then we will be on top, if they do not understand then we will fail. It is clear from these initial trends that the public has failed to understand us and we have failed to understand the public.

There is intense political activity regarding Bihar Assembly elections 2025. While the grand alliance has declared Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face, VIP chief Mukesh Sahni has been made the deputy CM face. After this, NDA parties raised the question that who will represent the Muslim community in the grand alliance and whether Congress will also get the post of Deputy CM. Bihar Congress in-charge Krishna Allavaru has given a big statement on these questions.

A deputy CM will also be made from Congress
Krishna Allavaru, while talking to a YouTube channel, said that if the Grand Alliance government is formed, then Congress will also have a Deputy Chief Minister. He said, ‘Who will be there and from where, it will be decided after the elections. The principle of the Grand Alliance is that every community and class should be given representation. This includes both religion and caste.

A Muslim leader will also become Deputy CM
Allavaru told that there can be many Deputy Chief Ministers in the grand alliance. He said, ‘If need arises, not only 2 but also 4 Deputy CMs can be made, one of whom will be from the Muslim community.’ He said that the Grand Alliance is trying to ensure that all major sections and communities get equal share.

Why was the announcement of Tejashwi’s CM face delayed?
Allavaru clarified on the delay in formal announcement of Tejashwi Yadav’s name. He said that this was a planned process. ‘In the first meeting held in April, it was decided that the CM face would not be announced until the seat distribution and joint manifesto was prepared. This decision was taken about three weeks ago and the announcement was scheduled to be made before Diwali.

Differences regarding seat distribution, but no crisis
Allavaru also clarified on the news of tussle over seats between RJD and Congress. He said, ‘It is normal to have some differences in seat sharing. This keeps happening in coalition politics. The media sometimes hypes it up, making it seem as if relations have deteriorated, but it is not so. He said that the Grand Alliance is strong and united and all the parties are working for a common goal.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Mera Booth Sabse Strong’ campaign

Prime Minister Narendra Modi will on Wednesday interact with booth level party workers of Bihar under the ‘Mera Booth Sabse Strong’ campaign and listen to their suggestions before the upcoming assembly elections. The ‘Mera Booth Sabse Strong’ initiative is a long-term, interactive outreach campaign aimed at strengthening the party’s relationship with party workers and supporters at the local or booth level.

Earlier on Sunday, Prime Minister Modi had written in a post on ‘X’, our dedicated workers have gathered with full energy for the victory of BJP-NDA in Bihar. Talking to such dedicated workers always gives new inspiration.

In view of seat sharing of NDA in Bihar elections, Upendra Kushwaha’s statement ‘All is not well in NDA’ late night on Tuesday (14 October) created a stir in the politics of Bihar. Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Kushwaha is said to be angry over the seat distribution within the NDA. Dissatisfied with the Mahua assembly seat going to Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), senior BJP leaders reached Kushwaha’s house late in the night to pacify him, but all efforts failed.

According to sources, late on Tuesday night, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, Minister Nitin Naveen and BJP leader Rituraj Sinha reached the residence of Upendra Kushwaha. The meeting lasted for about four hours and political churning continued till about 4 o’clock in the night. Even after the meeting no concrete result could be achieved. The leaders refused to come out and say anything to the media. There is talk that Upendra Kushwaha will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi today.

Kushwaha called an emergency meeting today

After the overnight turmoil, Upendra Kushwaha has now called an emergency meeting of his party at 12:30 pm on Wednesday. The further strategy of RLM will be decided in the meeting. It is believed that after this meeting, Kushwaha can make a big political announcement by holding a press conference. This is likely to further increase the tussle within the NDA.

Kushwaha will meet Amit Shah today

Amidst the ongoing resentment within the NDA in Bihar, Upendra Kushwaha will meet Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi today. It is believed that the dispute arising between the two leaders regarding seat sharing will be discussed in detail. Kushwaha will go to Delhi in the hope of solution.

Resentment started due to seat distribution

In fact, on Sunday, NDA had announced the seat sharing formula for Bihar assembly elections. Under this, BJP and JDU were given 101-101 seats, Chirag Paswan’s LJP (Ram Vilas) was given 29 seats, while Jitan Ram Manjhi’s HAM and Upendra Kushwaha’s RLM were given 6-6 seats. Kushwaha had demanded 24 seats from the beginning and Manjhi had claimed 15 seats. Both the leaders had openly expressed their displeasure over the distribution of seats.

Emotional message on social media

Immediately after the seat distribution, Kushwaha had apologized to his supporters on social media and wrote – “I am sorry to all of you. The number of seats could not be as per your wish, food would not have been cooked in many houses today. But there are some circumstances which are not visible.”

Now when Kushwaha is openly saying that “all is not well in NDA”, this statement has become a big sign of dissatisfaction and instability within NDA before Bihar elections.

The seat sharing formula for Bihar assembly elections has been decided between BJP and JDU. After several days of talks, both the parties have finally sealed the agreement. According to sources, a total of 203 seats have been agreed between BJP and JDU, while 40 seats can be left for allies. This agreement is believed to strengthen the electoral equation for the NDA alliance.

JDU likely to get 102 seats and BJP 101 seats

According to sources, under this agreement, JDU will field its candidates on 102 seats and BJP on 101 seats. At the same time, about 40 seats will be left for other allies of NDA. This formula is slightly different from the 2020 assembly elections, but this time both the parties have divided the seats keeping the coordination balanced. It is clear from this that NDA has tried to give a message of unity against the opposition alliance.

Possible seats of JDU quota

Major seats where JDU is likely to contest include Mehnar, Badhadiya, Vaishali, Amarpur, Valmikinagar, Phulparas, Dhamdaha, Kuchaikot, Barari, Runni Saidpur, Harlakhi, Supaul, Mokama, Pipra, Keshariya, Sandesh, Alamnagar, Jehanabad, Ghosi, Bihariganj, Hathua, Bhore, Sarairanjan, Sonbarsa, Shivhar, Seats like Kanti, Waris Nagar, Barbigha, Belaganj, Bahadurpur and Kalyanpur are included.

BJP is considered to have a strong hold on these seats. Let us tell you that Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases on 6th and 11th November, while the counting of votes will take place on 14th November.

Election preparations are in full swing in Bihar. To ensure the convenience of voters and fair voting, this time the State Election Commission has decided to increase the honorarium of polling officers. Whereas earlier polling officers were paid Rs 250 per day, now this amount has been increased to Rs 400 per day. This means that they will now get Rs 1600 in lump sum for one day’s polling work.

Earlier, polling officers performing duty in Bihar elections were paid at the rate of Rs 250 per day. This amount was fixed for a long time and there was a demand from the employees to increase it. This time the Election Commission has accepted that demand and revised the rates. Under the new system, polling officers will now be paid Rs 400 per day or Rs 1600 in lump sum.

What is work?

The job of a polling officer is not just to conduct voting. He is responsible for everything from checking the voting machines at the polling station to identifying voters and monitoring the voting process. In case of any glitch or technical problem at any centre, he is the first person who takes care of it. Therefore, his role is very important for the transparency and fairness of elections.

According to the Commission, after the voting is over, the employees will be paid as per the prescribed procedure. Its complete record will be kept by the district administration so that there is no disturbance or delay of any kind. Where earlier the polling officer used to get Rs 250 per day, now he will get Rs 400 per day or Rs 1600 in lump sum. This is not only financial relief, but also a recognition of their hard work.

When will the elections be held?

The dates of Bihar Assembly elections 2025 have been announced. The Election Commission has decided to conduct voting in the state on November 6 and 11, while the results will be announced on November 14. With the announcement of elections, the code of conduct has also been implemented in Bihar.

Earlier the opposition had raised many questions to the Commission regarding the Voter List (SIR). After this, on September 30, 2025, the Commission released the final voter list, in which the names of a total of 7,41,92,357 voters of Bihar are registered. All new and updated voters have been included in this list.
