NDA Secures Solid Lead
The 2025 bihar Assembly elections are seeing a strong performance by the ruling national democratic alliance (NDA). Early counting trends indicate that the alliance is comfortably leading in multiple constituencies, putting it on course to cross the 122-seat majority mark in the 243-member assembly.
Jitan ram Manjhi’s Confidence
Former chief minister Jitan ram Manjhi, a veteran leader and influential political heavyweight in bihar, expressed strong confidence that Nitish Kumar will continue as the state’s Chief Minister. Manjhi’s assertion reflects the perception among nda leaders that the coalition’s strategy and leadership appeal are resonating with voters statewide.
Why the nda Lead Matters
Political analysts say the NDA’s early lead is significant because it demonstrates:
Voter approval of Nitish Kumar’s governance track record
Effective alliance management within the NDA
Strategic victories in both urban and rural constituencies
Manjhi’s public endorsement reinforces the narrative that stability and experience remain the key factors for Bihar’s electorate.
The Nitish Factor
Nitish Kumar’s appeal stems from decades of political experience, coalition-building, and a development-oriented governance model. His tenure has been marked by:
Infrastructure and road development
Improvement in law-and-order situation
Focus on women’s empowerment and rural welfare
This combination of credibility and voter trust is seen as central to NDA’s electoral strength.
Opposition Challenges
Despite aggressive campaigns, opposition parties have struggled to match the cohesion and ground-level outreach demonstrated by NDA. Fragmented votes among rivals, coupled with Nitish Kumar’s personal popularity, have strengthened the alliance’s prospects.
Implications for bihar Governance
If nda maintains its lead and nitish kumar returns as CM:
Policy continuity in development programs can be expected
Coalition politics under the nda banner will remain central to legislative decision-making
Long-term projects and reforms initiated in the last tenure are likely to continue without disruption
Conclusion: Stability Over Uncertainty
With nda cruising ahead in the early trends, Jitan ram Manjhi’s confidence underscores the belief that Bihar’s voters favor experienced leadership, stability, and development-focused governance. nitish kumar appears poised to lead the state once again, reaffirming the ‘Nitish factor’ as a decisive element in bihar politics.
