NEW DELHI: “Bihar ke logon ne garda uda diya,” declared Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his first address after National Democratic Alliance (NDA) secured a historic win in Bihar Assembly Elections on Friday. Hailing “Chhathi Maiyya”, he extended his gratitude to the voters for “rejecting appeasement politics of the opposition”.Highlighting the high voter turnout in the state, especially that of women, PM Modi said that the people had given a new “positive MY formula, and that is Mahila and youth”.‘Full Stop to Many Questions’ Chirag Paswan Hails PM Modi, Nitish as NDA Soars Past 200 SeatsNDA emerged victorious in the state, crossing the 200-seat mark and potentially surpassing its 2010 record of 206 seats.Election Results 2025Bihar election results: Bihar votes for ‘sushasan’; NDA cruising towards clean sweepBihar election results 2025: 5 reasons behind NDA’s historic winBihar results: From Magadh to Mithilanchal – NDA bowls out MGB across regionsTop quotes from PM Modi’s speech:Jai Chhathi Maiya, yeh prachand jeet, atoot vishwas, Bihar ke logo ne bilkul garda uda diya hai.Some parties in Bihar had created the appeasement formula of MY. But today’s victory has given a new positive MY formula, and that is Mahila and Youth. Today, Bihar is among those states of the country which have the highest number of youth, and this includes youth from every religion and every caste. Their desire, their aspiration and their dreams have completely destroyed the old communal MY formula of the Jungle Raj people.This election has further strengthened the public’s trust in the Election Commission of India. The consistently high voter turnout over the past few years, the increased turnout by the deprived and the exploited, is a significant achievement for the Election Commission. This is the same Bihar that was once dominated by Maoist terror. Voting used to end at 3 pm in Naxal-affected areas. But in this election, people in Bihar have voted without fear, with enthusiasm and excitement. You also know what used to happen in Bihar during the times of jungle raj. Violence used to occur openly at polling stations. Ballot boxes were looted. Today, the same Bihar is seeing record voter turnout. It is voting peacefully. Everyone’s vote has been recorded. Everyone has cast their vote as per their choice.We are the servants of the people. We keep making the people happy with our hard work and we have stolen the hearts of the people. And that is why the entire Bihar has said ‘Phir ek baar NDA Sarkar’.When I used to speak about Jungle Raj and Katta Sarkar in Bihar elections, the RJD party raised no objections. But it hurt the people of Congress. Today, I want to reiterate that Katta Sarkar will never return to Bihar…The people of Bihar have voted for Viksit Bihar.Hailing the victory, Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar extended his gratitude to PM Modi along with the voters.”In the Bihar Legislative Assembly Election-2025, the people of the state have given us a thumping majority, expressing their confidence in our government. For this, I offer my salutations to all the esteemed voters of the state, heartfelt thanks, and gratitude,” he said in a post on X.”I extend my salutations to the esteemed Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, along with heartfelt thanks and gratitude for the support received from him. The NDA alliance has demonstrated complete unity in this election and secured a thumping majority. For this resounding victory, I also express thanks and gratitude to all our N.D.A. alliance partners—Shri Chirag Paswan Ji, Shri Jitan Ram Manjhi Ji, and Shri Upendra Kushwaha Ji. With everyone’s support, Bihar will advance even further and join the ranks of the most developed states in the country,” he added.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.

NEW DELHI: NDA on Friday passed its “Litti-mus” test with flying colours, nearing 200 leads and soaring past the majority mark in the 243-member Bihar Assembly. As BJP, JD(U) and other allies of NDA celebrated the thumping victory, Mahagathbandhan cried foul alleging vote manipulation.Bihar says no to ‘naya jannayak’ As Biharis go “har baar Nitishe Kumar,” rejecting “naya jannayak” and closing doors for “jai-veeru’s jodi” this election season, NDA leaders gave credit to PM Modi’s government and Nitish Kumar’s governance. Bihar Assembly Poll Results: NDA Touches 200-Seat Lead, Congress Intensifies SIR, Vote Chori AttacksUnion minister of state Nityanand Rai asserted that Bihar has “once again trusted the NDA’s development model.”Mandate for PM Modi’s government and Nitish Kumar’s governance“The people of Bihar have given NDA a huge majority. I want to thank the people of the state. People have shown that they want development for the state. Election Results 2025Bihar election results: Bihar votes for ‘sushasan’; NDA cruising towards clean sweepBihar election results: Top winners and losersWomen, welfare and the ‘phoenix’ CM: How Nitish-led NDA crushed MGB in Bihar electionsThe people of Bihar have shown their faith in the world’s most popular leader, Narendra Modi. It has been proven today that Bihar stays in the heart of PM Modi and PM Modi stays in the heart of Bihar,” Rai told ANI.M-Y Factor for NDA BJP spokesperson Tuhin A Sinha echoed the same sentiments saying the results showed that voters rejected “Jungle Raj” and gravitated toward the party’s youth- and women-focused agenda. “This is as per our expectations. Voting was done against Jungle Raj. Our M-Y Factor – Mahila (Women) and Yuva (Youth) – is more impactful than their (Mahagathbandhan) M-Y Factor. It is unfortunate that RJD people are threatening and trying to turn Bihar into Nepal and Bangladesh. I think we will get more than 160-170 seats,” he remarked. Senior BJP leader Manoj Tiwari called the verdict against “divisive politics.” “This victory shows the trust people of Bihar have on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, this is a win of trust…After becoming PM in 2014, Modi said that until purvanchal area is developed the whole country cannot develop. While Nitish Kumar is a politician which understands people’s needs, and that the people get benefits from the fruits of the land, that is the NDA government who has done work, and developed after a long time,” he said.Opposition’s poor performanceHowever, the opposition INDIA bloc, which witnessed Congress dragging down RJD with it, called the “Nitish-Modi super show” a “deceit.” It pushed back sharply, alleging irregularities in the counting process. Congress senior leader Shashi Tharoor said that the figures were “a question of leading at the moment,” and the final assessment should be done after EC announces the results officially.Speaking to reporters, he said, “It’s a question of leading at the moment. They are leading by a rather large margin. But let’s wait for the Election Commission to discuss and disclose the results. I am sure that the party has a responsibility to study in detail the causes. But remember, we were not the senior partner in the alliance and that RJD also has to look carefully at its own performance. But I will say that on a matter like this, it’s very important that we look at the totality of our performance. Elections are about a number of factors.”Highlighting the issue of last-minute schemes, Tharoor said, “The women voters were certainly given some incentives just before the Code of Conduct. Whether we like it or not, unfortunately, that is legal under our laws. I am afraid this is not the first time that we have seen state governments doing such things, of giving benefits to certain segments of society. I don’t think it’s a healthy practice but we saw something quite similar in Maharashtra as well as other seats in the past.”Anomalies at several centres, alleges CongressBihar Congress chief Rajesh Ram raised doubts, claiming sudden slowdowns and “anomalies” at several centres. He alleged that “server vans” and “irregular booth patterns” had raised suspicion among Mahagathbandhan workers.Reacting to the flop show of Congress in Bihar, Karnataka chief minister Siddaramaiah alleged “vote chori.” Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot accused the poll body of “colluding” with the ruling NDA, alleging that cash payments, including “Rs 10,000 to women,” continued despite the model code of conduct.Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav called BJP “a deceit,” labelling the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) exercise an “electoral conspiracy.” He warned that such “games” would not be allowed in other states, adding that his cadre — his “PPTV: PDA Prahari” — would remain vigilantly active.With counting still underway, the political atmosphere remains charged.
