Newsroom, November 14, 2025: The National Democratic Alliance claimed a decisive mandate in Bihar's 2025 assembly elections, leading in over 180 of the 243 seats as counting progressed Friday, securing Nitish Kumar's 10th term amid jubilant rallies in Patna.
The coalition's focus on welfare and infrastructure resonated with rural voters, while the Mahagathbandhan, led by RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, trailed at 50-60 seats, with Yadav's own Raghopur constituency locked in a nail-biter.
The outcome, validating NDA's unity despite internal whispers, underscores caste arithmetic's sway in the heartland.
