Overview
- Election Commission trends and late-night counts showed the NDA comfortably crossing the 122 majority, with media tallies placing the alliance at roughly 200 or more seats.
- The BJP emerged as the single-largest party at around 87 seats won and additional leads, while JD(U) secured about 78 wins with more leads, consolidating the ruling bloc’s core strength.
- Chirag Paswan’s LJP(RV) posted notable gains with roughly 18–19 seats, bolstering the alliance’s arithmetic alongside smaller partners HAM and RLM.
- The Mahagathbandhan suffered a collapse, with the RJD reduced to about 24–25 seats despite leading vote share near 23%, and the Congress down to six.
- High turnout near two-thirds with strong participation by women and the Rs 10,000 transfer to over one crore women were widely cited as decisive, as opposition leaders disputed the voter-roll revision process.
