Welcome to theustales.com.
Imagine a state where guns once ruled the streets, but today women cycle to polls with hope in their eyes. On November 14, 2025, Bihar woke up to a historic moment. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) raced past 200 seats. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar smiled wide. He is now set for a fifth straight term. This is no ordinary win. It is a loud message from the people.
Counting Day Drama Unfolds
Votes started getting counted at 8 am sharp. By late morning, NDA crossed the magic majority mark. Trends kept climbing. At 4:10 pm, the alliance led in 207 seats out of 243. That beat their 2020 score of 122 seats. Meanwhile, the Mahagathbandhan managed leads in just 29 seats. Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj drew a blank. No seat, no story.
Delhi Police geared up too. They diverted traffic near BJP headquarters. Celebrations were expected to be massive. No parking on key roads. Security stood tight.

Key Faces, Big Wins
Nitish Kumar remains Bihar’s longest-serving chief minister. His JD(U) won five seats early. More followed. Anant Kumar Singh, despite arrest in a murder case, won Mokama by 28,206 votes. He beat RJD’s Veena Devi. Hari Narayan Singh took Harnaut by 48,335 votes. Manorama Devi held Belaganj narrowly by 2,882 votes. Maheshwar Hazari crushed Kalyanpur with 38,586 votes.
BJP shone bright. Rana Randhir retained Madhuban for the third time. He won by 5,492 votes. Raju Kumar Singh grabbed Sahebganj by 13,522 votes. Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha led from Lakhisarai. His margin grew round after round.
RJD had slim rays. Tejashwi Yadav led in Raghopur for a while. Later, he trailed. Osama Shahab, son of late Mohd Shahabuddin, fought to keep Raghunathpur. He trailed early but hopes lingered. Maithili Thakur, the 25-year-old folk singer, stormed ahead in Alinagar. She is set to become Bihar’s youngest MLA.
Women Power the NDA Wave
Women turned out in huge numbers. Turnout hit 67.13% overall. Women voted 10% more than men. Since 2010, their numbers keep rising. Nitish built this bond long back. Free bicycles for schoolgirls started it. Liquor ban followed. Now, the “dashazari” scheme gives Rs 10,000 to women entrepreneurs. Lakhpati Didi adds fuel. Women chose welfare over old fears.
JD(U) vote share jumped to 23.8% where women dominated booths. Where turnout stayed equal, it was just 15.7%. The message is clear. The ‘M’ in Bihar now means Mahila, not just Muslim-Yadav.
EBCs Become the X-Factor
Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) make up 36% of Bihar. Nitish released the caste survey. Then he delivered. Welfare reached doorsteps. JD(U) lost many EBC-SC seats in 2020. This time, they flipped the script. Tally crossed 70 seats easily. BJP held upper castes. Chirag Paswan brought Paswans. Upendra Kushwaha united Kushwahas. Jitan Ram Manjhi added Dalit strength. The umbrella covered everyone.
NDA reminded youth of “katta, dunali, rangdari” days under RJD. Lawlessness scared them. Free electricity up to 125 units won hearts. Old-age pension rose from Rs 400 to Rs 1,100. Nitish, at 74, attended 84 rallies. He outworked younger rivals.
Opposition Struggles to Connect
Mahagathbandhan stuck to Muslim-Yadav base. They cried “vote chori.” Voters ignored. Tej Pratap Yadav, Lalu’s elder son, trailed fourth in Mahua. He formed his own party after family drama. Congress office wore a deserted look. AIMIM hoped for eight to nine seats. They blamed RJD and Congress for splitting minority votes.
CPI(ML) leader Dipankar Bhattacharya called results “unnatural.” Samajwadi Party’s Awadhesh Prasad alleged cash distribution. Akhilesh Yadav tweeted about “SIR” removing votes. Yet, no repoll happened. For the first time, Bihar saw zero voting-day deaths. No discrepancies. ECI ran a clean show.
Alliance Math Delivers Landslide
BJP contested 101 seats, led in over 80. JD(U) led in 79. Chirag’s LJP(RV) swept 20 of 28 seats. HAM expected six. NDA touched 200 leads. They eyed breaking their 2010 record of 206 seats. Consolidation worked. Fragmentation hurt others.
In Magadh and Shahabad, Pawan Singh campaigned. Rajput and Kushwaha votes merged. Ground reports matched trends. Women and EBCs sealed the deal.
Clean Poll, Happy Celebrations
243 Returning Officers counted votes. 243 observers watched. Candidates or agents stayed present. ECI confirmed zero malpractices. Bihar voted in two phases: November 6 and 11. Exit polls predicted NDA sweep. Tejashwi dismissed them. Reality hit hard.
Supporters danced outside JD(U) office. Fireworks lit Patna skies. PM Modi planned to address BJP workers from Delhi. Suvendu Adhikari chanted, “Bihar ki jeet hamari hai, ab Bengali ki baari hai.”
