Newsroom, November 14, 2025: The Congress party is staring at one of its most dismal performances in Bihar's assembly elections, projected to win fewer than 10 seats in the 243-member house, a sharp drop from 2020's 19, as the NDA coalition races toward a comfortable majority.
Rahul Gandhi's repeated allegations of 'vote chori', claiming electoral fraud in key pockets, gained little ground, were dismissed by the Election Commission and overshadowed by NDA's focus on welfare and stability, with Nitish Kumar's JD(U) leading at 75 seats and BJP at 80.
The rout signals deeper troubles for the grand old party in the heartland, where alliance fractures and caste miscalculations eroded its base.
