Bihar Election Result 2025: NDA Holds 189 As Nitish–Modi Wave Secures Clear Mandate

The NDA remains firmly positioned at 189 seats in the Bihar Election Result 2025, with the BJP outperforming its previous tally by rising from 74 to 84 seats after contesting 101. JDU leaders credit the mandate to development-focused governance and the strong Nitish Kumar–Narendra Modi leadership model that Bihar voters have supported for nearly two decades. Visuals from the JDU headquarters show firecrackers, conch-shells, and jubilant workers distributing laddoos, signalling confidence that Nitish Kumar will return as Chief Minister. Leaders dismiss suggestions of hesitation within the BJP over projecting Nitish, stating from the beginning that “the CM’s chair was never vacant.” Meanwhile, the Mahagathbandhan struggles near the 50-seat mark. Analysts cite Tejashwi Yadav’s internal rifts, the influence of aides like Sanjay Yadav, and weak grassroots connection as key factors. LJP(R) also exceeds expectations with strong gains across its 29 contested seats.
