Overview

  • Election Commission results show BJP 89, JD(U) 85 and LJP(RV) 19, taking the NDA to 202 of 243 seats, with RJD at 25 and Congress at 6.
  • BJP finishes as the single largest party, while smaller NDA partners post strong strike rates across their limited contests.
  • The outcome positions Nitish Kumar to continue as chief minister, with coalition leaders framing the verdict as an endorsement of governance and delivery.
  • Women’s turnout and schemes such as the ₹10,000 Mahila Rozgar payouts are widely cited as pivotal to the ruling alliance’s gains.
