The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has won a decisive victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, crossing the majority mark with more than 202 seats. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) emerged as the single largest party in the alliance with 89 seats, while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United) JD(U) secured 85 seats. Chirag Paswan’s LJP-RV added 19 seats to the NDA tally.

On the other hand, the Mahagathbandhan suffered a major setback, winning only 35 seats and falling far short of the halfway mark. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) managed 25 seats, and the Congress secured just 6. With this outcome, the election turned out to be heavily one-sided. Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, which had positioned itself as a new alternative, failed to make any impact and won zero seats.
