The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has secured a resounding victory in the Bihar assembly elections, with the BJP emerging as the single-largest party in the state assembly. The NDA's triumph has left the RJD-Congress led Mahagathbandhan reeling, with the RJD facing a major setback, dropping to 25 seats. The BJP has secured 89 seats, while the JD(U) has won 85 seats. In a surprising turn of events, the ruling NDA has secured a three-fourths majority in the 243-member House with 202 seats. The BJP's victory has paved the way for the government formation process, with NDA leaders indicating that it will begin in two to three days once all victorious MLAs return to Patna. Meanwhile, Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter and RJD leader Rohini Acharya has announced her decision to quit politics, citing the defeat as a major factor. She has also blamed two close aides of her brother Tejashwi Yadav for the RJD's poor performance in the polls. The Congress has managed to secure six seats in the elections. The outcome of the polls has sent shockwaves through the opposition, with the RJD-Congress alliance facing a crushing defeat in the state. The NDA's victory is a significant boost to the ruling party's prospects ahead of the 2026 assembly elections in several states.
