The Bihar election results for 2025 are unfolding with significant drama, showcasing a commanding performance by the NDA alliance, primarily led by JD(U) and BJP. In contrast, Tejashwi Yadav’s Mahagathbandhan appears to be struggling to gain traction, despite optimistic projections from supporters.
The contest in Digha highlights the unpredictable nature of these elections. Divya Gautam, associated with the CPI(ML)-L and a relative of the late actor Sushant Singh Rajput, finds herself trailing BJP’s Sanjiv Chaurasia. Chaurasia has built a substantial lead, making it an uphill battle for Gautam.
Bhojpuri sensation Khesari Lal Yadav, representing the RJD in Chapra, is facing a tough political debut. He is currently behind BJP’s Chhoti Kumari, who has maintained a steady lead. This outcome challenges the expectations surrounding the actor’s political aspirations.
Tejashwi Yadav’s performance in Raghopur is a key focus. Initial counts placed him behind BJP’s Satish Kumar, creating a tense atmosphere for the MGB. The RJD and BJP are engaged in a fierce competition for this symbolically important seat.
A notable rise is that of Osama Shahab, son of the infamous gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin. He has surged ahead in Raghunathpur, establishing a commanding lead over JD(U)’s Vikash Kumar Singh. His growing vote share is a significant development in this election cycle.
Tej Pratap Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav’s elder son, is experiencing a difficult election morning in Mahua. His party’s candidates are largely trailing, and he himself is unable to secure a lead in his constituency, a stark contrast to his earlier bold predictions.
Amidst these challenges, first-time BJP candidate Maithili Thakur is making a positive impression in Alinagar, securing a healthy lead. The AIMIM is also demonstrating voter support, with leads in Kochadhaman, Amour, and Baisi, indicating a strategic presence for the party.
Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary is poised to win from Tarapur, maintaining a strong lead. In Kutumba, state Congress President Rajesh Kumar is facing a setback, trailing behind his opponent. The Mokama seat remains a close contest, with jailed JD(U) leader Anant Singh in a tight race against RJD’s Veena Devi.
