In the pivotal Indian state of Bihar, the counting of votes for the State Assembly elections is underway, and early trends indicate that the ruling coalition, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), is heading toward a decisive victory. This outcome is being seen as a crucial mandate for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s national political agenda.
Indian media reports confirm that while counting is ongoing, the alliance between the BJP and JDU holds a significant lead. According to the latest trends, the ruling NDA coalition commands a substantial advantage with a lead on 208 seats. The coalition required 122 seats to secure a majority in the 243-member state assembly.
The report also highlights that several key constituencies are experiencing a tough and close contest, reflecting the intense political engagement in one of India’s most populous states. The results of these elections will not only determine the formation of Bihar’s next government but also have profound implications for the balance of political power across India.
