{ "title": "Bihar Election 2025: NDA Leads, Tejashwi Yadav Trails in Crucial Seats | Latest Updates", "article": "In a surprising turn of events, the Bihar assembly election has resulted in a record victory for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's NDA, while several key candidates from the opposition Mahagathbandhan are trailing. Tejashwi Yadav, the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan, is trailing in the Raghopur constituency, where BJP's Satish Kumar is leading with over 3,000 votes. This is a significant setback for Tejashwi, who has been a prominent figure in Bihar politics since 2015. In another shocking development, RJD's Shatrughan Yadav, also known as Khesari Lal Yadav, is trailing in the Chapra seat despite his massive popularity as a Bhojpuri film star and playback singer. Khesari had joined the RJD just weeks before the polls, aiming to leverage his celebrity appeal in the western part of the state. However, his entry into politics seems to have had little impact, as he trails behind BJP candidate Chhoti Kumari by over 9,600 votes. Meanwhile, BJP's Maithili Thakur, a new entrant in the Alinagar constituency, has made a stunning comeback with a margin of over 8,500 votes after six rounds of counting. Thakur, a popular folk singer, was facing RJD's Binod Mishra in the closely watched contest. Another prominent victory has been that of Anant Singh, the 'Bahubali' politician, who has retained the Mokama seat with a comfortable margin of over 32,000 votes. Singh, who was earlier arrested in connection with a murder case, has maintained his stronghold in the constituency. As per the latest trends, the NDA is leading on 190 seats, while the Mahagathbandhan camp is leading on 49. The BJP remains the largest party with 84 seats. The Election Commission website has reported the latest updates, which indicate a clear lead for the NDA in the Bihar assembly election."
