Patna: The political landscape in Bihar has become tense and charged following the voting for the 2025 Assembly elections. With only days remaining until the final results, all attention is focused on the outcome that will determine the state’s future. Exit polls have indicated a potential victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), heightening both anxiety and excitement among political figures and their supporters. Tej Pratap Yadav, a leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), has preemptively claimed victory for the Grand Alliance, even before the official vote counting begins. He expressed confidence that his party will form the next government in Bihar when questioned by reporters about the early celebrations among his supporters.
This assertion from Tej Pratap has ignited intense political discussions statewide, met with sharp responses from rival parties. Voter participation this year reached record levels, with nearly 67 percent turnout—the highest ever recorded in Bihar’s Assembly election history. A significant number of women participated in the voting process, playing a crucial role in influencing the results. Political analysts suggest that this increase in female voters could impact many key constituencies. The strong turnout indicates a growing public interest and trust in the democratic process. Meanwhile, the NDA faction is displaying signs of optimism, with numerous leaders voicing quiet confidence following the exit polls.
Celebrations have commenced in various regions, although leaders remain cautious until the final results are announced on November 14. Conversely, the Grand Alliance has dismissed the exit polls as misleading and inaccurate, asserting that the true results will surprise everyone and swing in their favor. As Bihar anticipates the significant day, political activities have intensified, with party offices alive with meetings, preparations, and strategic discussions. Both alliances are optimistic, yet only one will achieve victory once the votes are tallied. Until that moment arrives, Bihar remains in suspense, keenly observing as its political future hangs in the balance.
