Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, who led the BJP's campaign in Bihar, has stated that the recent electoral victory has energised the party for upcoming battles, particularly in West Bengal. He credited the landslide win to the people of Bihar, who chose development and progress. Pradhan emphasised that voters honoured the credibility of the NDA government, both at the state level over 20 years and the Central government's 11-year tenure. He underlined that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's development philosophy resonated with the electorate. Pradhan clarified that the NDA alliance remains intact regardless of seat numbers, with Nitish Kumar continuing as the tallest leader in Bihar. He affirmed that all NDA partners, including Chirag Paswan's party, which won 19 of 29 seats, have the right to participate in government formation. Development of Bihar remains the coalition's top priority moving forward.
NDA Unity and Leadership in Bihar Government
Pradhan made it clear that the NDA will form the government together, irrespective of individual seat tallies. He confirmed that Nitish Kumar is the tallest leader in Bihar and will lead the new administration. The election was fought under the Modi-Nitish pair, and there is no confusion about leadership. Regarding ministerial positions, Pradhan said the chief minister will decide the cabinet composition. He acknowledged that Chirag Paswan's party, which secured 19 out of 29 contested seats, and all NDA partners have the right to be part of the government. Discussions on these matters will follow as the alliance prepares to assume power in the state.
