Today is the day of results of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, NDA is maintaining a strong lead in the trends of Bihar. The trends show that NDA will get 202 seats, Grand Alliance will get 35 seats and others will get 6 seats. While reactions of leaders have started coming in on the results of Bihar, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has reacted on the results of Bihar elections.
On the trends of Bihar elections, Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has said that the landslide victory of NDA in the Bihar Assembly elections is the result of the great yagya of development taking place in the entire nation under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This result is a clear message that the people of Bihar do not accept any kind of compromise with development, good governance and stability.”

‘The public rejected propaganda, nepotism, chaos and opportunism’

Pushkar Singh Dhami further said that “the crushing defeat of the Grand Alliance proves that the public has now completely rejected the politics of opportunism, nepotism, chaos and propaganda.” The Chief Minister further said that “This victory is a confirmation of the public trust, continuous hard work of the organization and NDA’s unwavering resolve towards public service.

Bihar Election Result 2025: As the counting of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 is reaching the final stages, the trends are making it clear that the NDA government seems to be formed again. In the initial round, BJP and JDU are leading on 167 seats, while the position of the Grand Alliance seems weak. Congress’s claims of vote theft and Rahul Gandhi’s ‘hydrogen bomb’ claim seem to be failing at the moment. The results of Bihar are now becoming a mirror not only of the state but also of the opposition’s strategy.

Congress suffered the most loss

The political circles have become heated as soon as the initial trends have emerged in the counting of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. NDA is leading on 190 seats and the path to forming their government in the state seems clear. Meanwhile, the Grand Alliance is leading on only 38 seats. BJP is ahead on 90 seats and JDU on 80 seats. Whereas RJD is leading on only 29 seats and Congress on 05 seats, while Left is leading on 6 seats. According to initial trends, Congress has suffered the most loss.

‘Vote theft’ strategy failed

Before the elections, Congress and Rahul Gandhi had loudly alleged that BJP has been forming governments by stealing votes in every state. In Bihar also he had increased the hype about ‘vote theft’. Emphasizing the exit poll results, Rahul Gandhi had claimed that BJP and the Election Commission together are killing democracy. According to him, lakhs of BJP people are roaming around in different states openly and casting their votes and the evidence is being destroyed to hide this ‘theft’. Congress had warned that this issue would go to both the Election Commission and the court.

Hydrogen bomb turns out to be a disaster

But the trends of Bihar are showing that these claims of Rahul Gandhi are not being supported on the ground at present, it would be better to call them mere platitudes. The vote bank of Congress seems weaker than before. His statements like ‘hydrogen bomb’, which were presented in a very dramatic manner before the elections, now seem to be futile. The lead of NDA and the weak position of Grand Alliance made it clear that the public mood and electoral trends in Bihar are telling a different story.

Deep impact on Congress’s credibility in Bihar elections

Political analysts say that this is a clear indication in Bihar that people have given confidence to the NDA alliance in the state. The performance of BJP and JDU has been consistently strong and their strategy is proving successful. At the same time, Congress has not only suffered a loss in seats, but its credibility has also been affected. This game of trends has become a mirror of not only Bihar but also the strategy of the entire opposition.

Easy path to victory for NDA

There is also discussion in political circles that allegations like vote theft will now be limited to mere rhetoric. The voters of Bihar had given the message from the very beginning that they are capable of taking their own decisions. NDA’s lead is an indication that the impact of the Election Commission’s process and voting is clearly visible on the actual results. Ultimately, it is clearly visible in the results that Congress’s ‘rocket’ is failing and the ‘hydrogen bomb’ of vote theft has also failed. The people of Bihar have shown their strength and the path to victory is becoming easier for NDA.

Bihar Prediction 2025: Whose government will be formed in Bihar? This is the discussion these days. All political parties were in front of the public with their work plans and promises. After the first and last phase of voting, all the parties are now busy in calculations to form the government. The candidates are assessing the votes received in their respective areas and discussing their victory strategy.

Three major powers will decide the fate of Bihar!

1. National Democratic Alliance (NDA) – Under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, along with whom BJP, LJP, HAM and Upendra Kushwaha’s party are included.
2. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) – The biggest strength of the opposition under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav.
3. Jan Suraj Party – Prashant Kishore’s new party, which is becoming increasingly popular among the youth and intellectuals.

Who will be ahead in Bihar politics in 2025-26? Will Nitish Kumar return to power again?

According to the astrological analysis of Astrologer Sanjit Kumar Mishra, Nitish Kumar’s horoscope is currently in a beneficial position due to Rahu-Venus dasha. Rahu is situated in the house of luck from Aquarius and Saturn is giving strength to the place of karma. Due to this, there are chances of returning to power. There is a possibility of not getting full majority, but power will be retained with coalition support. Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj Party can give rise to new political equations and will play a major role in vote-bank division.

Nitish Kumar’s horoscope and predictions

Nitish Kumar’s birth chart is of March 1, 1951, 1:20 pm, Bakhtiyarpur (Bihar). Nitish Kumar’s horoscope is of Gemini ascendant, i.e. the zodiac sign of Mercury. In this horoscope, Lagnesh Mercury is situated in the ninth house along with Sun, Jupiter and Rahu. Mars-Venus are in the tenth house, Saturn is in the fourth house and Moon is in the sixth house.

Astrologer Sanjit Kumar Mishra tells that currently Rahu Mahadasha and Venus Antardasha are going on in Nitish Kumar’s horoscope. Rahu is situated in the ninth house in Aquarius, while Saturn is in a strong position in the tenth house of Karmasthan. This combination shows that despite sometimes confusion and decision-making crisis, political stability and leadership ability will remain intact. If Jupiter’s aspect falls on the tenth house, they may get a chance to regain power.

If we look at the present, Nitish Kumar’s star of luck is strong at the moment. He will get the support of the alliance and there is a possibility that he will once again hold the post of Chief Minister.

Future of Prashant Kishore and Jan Suraj

Jan Suraj Party was announced on 2 October 2024, 4:05 pm, in Patna. The horoscope of the party is of Aquarius ascendant. Whose lord is Saturn. Saturn is situated in the center and is aspecting the third, seventh and tenth houses. Eclipse yoga in the eighth house and Rahu-Ketu axis indicate obstacles in attaining power.

Currently, Rahu Antardasha is going on in Moon Mahadasha, due to which the party will get discussion among the public but it will be difficult to get a place in power. Nevertheless, Jan Suraj Party can make a dent in the vote bank of both NDA and RJD. It can play the role of kingmaker in the politics of Bihar.

Can Nitish Kumar get absolute majority?

Rahu-Sun’s antardasha will start in Nitish Kumar’s horoscope from June 2026. This period can be called Rajyogakari, it indicates strength in power and administrative control. However, short-term disruptions and protests may also be seen in government work during this period.

Astrologer Sanjit Kumar Mishra says that if we talk about the situation of complete majority, then according to the current planetary position, Jupiter is exalted in Cancer and Saturn is retrograde. Sun is in lowest position in Libra and is forming Shukraditya Yoga. Mars and Mercury are forming a conjunction in Scorpio. Ketu is in Leo, which indicates Rajyoga. This combination shows that returning to power is possible, but the situation of absolute majority will remain uncertain. The role of alliance will be decisive.

If seen from astrological point of view, Nitish Kumar’s horoscope is strong and full of auspicious yogas. There are definitely some obstacles in the path to power, but the period 2025-27 may prove to be a period of political rebirth for them. At the same time, Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraj Party can bring a new balance in the politics of the state and can play a bigger role in the future.

Amidst the Bihar Assembly elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav held a press conference on Monday (November 10) and made a scathing attack on the Election Commission and the Central Government. Tejashwi said that even after 4 days, the Election Commission has not released the voting figures, which makes it clear that the Commission is hiding something. He raised the question as to why the Commission is not telling how many men and women voted.

Tejashwi said that the Election Commission has now become a tool of BJP and is dead. Tejashwi alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah is putting pressure on the officials. The Home Minister has no work, he is calling the district officials, many people are being picked up, pressure is being put on the administration.

‘Want to make Bihar their colony’

Tejashwi said that Amit Shah wants to make Bihar his colony. He alleged that 208 police companies have been sent to Bihar from BJP ruled states.

Tejashwi questioned that police have been brought from BJP ruled states UP, Gujarat, Assam, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Goa, Uttarakhand, but why police from neighboring states like Jharkhand and Bengal did not come? Will the outside police now protect Bihar?”

He also said that CCTVs are being found switched off everywhere. Election Commission should tell why this is happening. Is all this being done deliberately to hide dishonesty?

Bihar will change after November 14, will become the most developed state

Tejashwi further said that this time a government with jobs is going to come in Bihar. He said that after November 14, Bihar will follow the path of becoming the most developed state. The public has made up its mind that this time a government will be formed that provides jobs. He claimed that this time history is going to be made in Bihar. People have voted for change.

Tejashwi said that he held 171 election meetings, and everywhere the mood of change was clearly visible among the public. “People of every society, every religion, every caste have supported us this time.

The RJD leader also targeted Nitish Kumar and the NDA government. He said that the people who have been ruling for 20 years have made Bihar one of the poorest and most backward states of the country. Highest migration, highest poverty and highest unemployment is in Bihar. Tejashwi said sarcastically, “There are two useless Deputy Chief Ministers, but no work has been done for the public.”

Tejashwi also mentioned the incidents of Samastipur and Sarairanjan. He said that you must have seen how the slips were thrown there, questions are being raised on the role of the administration. Everything is happening before the eyes of the Election Commission, but no action is being taken.

Amidst Bihar elections, Lok Sabha MP from Purnia Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav has again created a political stir with his frank statement. Pappu Yadav not only made a big statement about the difficulties of becoming an independent MP, but also raised sharp questions on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s promise of providing employment.

During the election environment, Pappu Yadav said during an interview given to ABP News, “Becoming an independent MP is not the status of even God’s father. Just imagine, how difficult it is to stand out among the public alone without any big party or alliance.”

On Rahul Gandhi’s reaction on Tejashwi Yadav’s promise of giving him a job, Pappu Yadav said, “Congress leader Rahul Gandhi did not say such a thing.”

Pappu Yadav further said that when Prime Minister Narendra Modi had promised Rs 15 lakh and two crore jobs, it was later termed as a “jumla”. He taunted and said, “When he said 15 lakh, two crore jobs and fake notes and money were being brought from Swiss banks, he called it a catchphrase. When Amit Shah said that it was my catchphrase, then were dollar, demonetization, share market, GST, bullet train, steel, startup all these catchphrases?”

‘If Tejashwi promises, he will fulfill it’

However, Pappu Yadav also said that if Tejashwi Yadav has taken any decision to give him a job, then he is capable of fulfilling it. He said, “If Tejashwi has taken any decision, he will definitely fulfill it. He did not talk about 3 crore, 2 crore jobs like Modi ji. Our leader has said that it will take 3 years from two years, we will make Bihar number one and talk about employment.”

These statements of Pappu Yadav have sparked a new debate in the politics of Bihar. On one hand, he described himself as the true representative of the people, while on the other hand, he heated up the political atmosphere by comparing the promises of both Tejashwi Yadav and Modi.

The Home Ministry has provided Y+ category security to RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son and former Bihar minister Tej Pratap Yadav. The Home Ministry has given this security to Janashakti Janata Dal founder Tej Pratap Yadav amid Bihar elections. Let us tell you that Tej Pratap Yadav has got the security of CRPF.

According to information received from sources, this security has been provided under VIP protocol. According to sources, security agencies had presented a special report regarding the security of Tej Pratap Yadav, after which the central government decided to increase his security. After Tej Pratap Yadav gets Y Plus security, Central Reserve Police Force personnel will be deployed for his security.

Security agencies had submitted the report to the government

Let us tell you that the investigating agency had given information to the Home Ministry regarding the security of Tej Pratap Yadav. Amidst the elections, Tej Pratap himself had expressed concern about his safety. Also, Tej Pratap had demanded his security from the ministry.

Keeping in view the demand of Tej Pratap, the Home Ministry provided him Y category security. Now Tej Pratap Yadav will be provided security from all sides by CRPF personnel. As soon as this news came out, there was discussion in political circles.

What is in this category?

If we talk about this category, a total of 11 security personnel are included in it. Armed forces commandos are deployed in the cordon. And out of these, 5 soldiers remain ready for security at his house. Apart from this, security is provided in three shifts.

Tej Pratap Yadav is active in Bihar elections

Tej Pratap Yadav seems to be completely active in Bihar elections 2025. He has fielded more than 40 candidates in the elections on behalf of his party. He himself is contesting from Mahua seat. Meanwhile, he has also been seen campaigning vigorously.

The reputation of BJP and Congress is at stake in the Anta assembly by-election of Rajasthan. The prestige of BJP’s national vice president and former Rajasthan CM Vasundhara Raje is at stake on this seat. At the same time, the Congress party has once again placed its bet on Pramod Jain Bhaya, who was a minister in the Gehlot government. However, independent candidate Naresh Meena has made the contest triangular. Voting for the by-election here will be held on November 11.

Anta assembly seat is under the influence of former CM Vasundhara Raje. She has been an MP from here and currently her son Dushyant is an MP from here. BJP has made Morpal Suman, the village head who runs a grocery shop and does politics in the region, as its candidate on the basis of Vasundhara Raje’s choice. Due to the issue of nose, Vasundhara Raje has camped here with her core committee and supporters.

Congress bets on former minister Pramod Jain Bhaya

At the same time, the Congress party has once again placed its bet on Pramod Jain Bhaya, a two-time MLA from here and a minister in the Gehlot government. While Morpal Suman has a clean and simple image, Congress’s Pramod Jain Bhaya has done the work while being an MLA and minister in this very backward area and has been active among the people, that is his strength and identity.

Youth leader Naresh Meena made the contest triangular

However, the entry of independent candidate Naresh Meena has made Anta’s contest triangular. Naresh Meena is very popular among the youth and he is getting full support from the Meena community. Naresh Meena is seen making a big dent in the votes of both BJP and Congress. Naresh Meena has come into the main contest after getting the support of Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party and MP Hanuman Beniwal’s Rashtriya Loktantrik Party.

Ultimately local issues dominate. Development and farmers’ problems are big factors. However, both Congress and BJP are calling development as their issue. Here both BJP and Congress are facing mutual tussle and conflict. To show unity, BJP jointly organized a road show between current CM Bhajanlal Sharma and former CM Vasundhara Raje.

Former CM Ashok Gehlot will try to woo voters

On the other hand, from the Congress side, former CM Ashok Gehlot will try to woo Anta voters on the last day of campaigning. Here all the three candidates are making big claims of their victory. BJP candidate Morpal Suman says that he is a local while the other big faces contesting against him are outsiders. It is claimed that they will get benefit from it.

Why did the need for by-election arise?

Let us tell you that Anta assembly seat of Rajasthan came into existence in the year 2008. The fifth assembly election is being held on this seat. BJP’s Kanwarlal Meena was elected MLA from here in the last elections of 2023. His assembly membership was canceled due to his conviction in a criminal case nearly two decades old and serving a sentence of more than two years.

Finally, voting will be held on November 11 amid tight security arrangements. Now it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious when the election results are declared on November 14. The voters here are vocal. He is expressing his views openly, but despite this, no wave is visible in anyone’s favor yet. Let us tell you that there are a total of two lakh twenty eight thousand voters in Anta assembly seat. Of these, 116783 are male and 111477 are female and four voters are of third gender.

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday (November 8, 2025) alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hurting the dignity of his post by using words like katta. Priyanka Gandhi had come to address the election rally in Kadwa assembly constituency of Katihar district. Here he said that Congress and the Grand Alliance are today fighting the same battle which Mahatma Gandhi once fought against the British rule.

He said, ‘On one hand the Prime Minister praises Vande Mataram, which is a symbol of non-violence and unity and on the other hand he uses language like Katta (country pistol). Is this in keeping with the dignity of his position?

Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘BJP thinks that it will buy the votes of women by giving them Rs 10,000, but the women of Bihar are now aware and will take their decision thoughtfully. This time the voters of Bihar will choose a government which respects the interests and sensitivities of the people.
