Special Report: Modi-Nitish Alliance Decimates Opposition in Bihar, BJP Emerges Single Largest Party

This special report analyzes the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) landslide victory in the 2025 Bihar assembly elections, where the coalition secured over 200 seats. Led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the NDA's win saw the BJP emerge as the single largest party. The program, hosted by Rajdeep Sardesai, examines the key factors behind the massive mandate, including the strategic failures of the Mahagathbandhan, the collapse of the Congress vote, and the significant role of women voters, whose turnout was notably high. Featuring an exclusive interview with BJP strategist and Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the analysis delves into the consolidation of the NDA's social coalition. Experts such as Yogendra Yadav, Manisha Priyam, and Sanjay Kumar discuss the opposition's inability to counter the NDA's narrative, which contrasted development with 'Jangal Raj', and the continued trust voters placed in Nitish Kumar's leadership and welfare schemes.
