Bihar Election Results: Nitish-Modi 'NiMo' Wave Decimates Opposition, Tejashwi Yadav Trails

This special report covers the 2025 Bihar Assembly election results, where the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is heading for a landslide victory with a projected two-thirds majority. The outcome paves the way for Nitish Kumar to serve a tenth term as Chief Minister, a win attributed to the combined leadership of Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The election saw a collapse of the Mahagathbandhan alliance, with the RJD and Congress performing poorly. Notably, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was reported to be trailing in his Raghopur constituency. Analysis suggests the NDA's sweep was fueled by its development platform and caste arithmetic, while the RJD struggled to expand beyond its core Muslim-Yadav voter base. The results also highlight the role of NDA allies like Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha, alongside the performance of Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraj party.
