The ruling NDA alliance achieved a sweeping victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, securing 202 out of 243 seats and reducing the Opposition Mahagathbandhan to only 35 seats. The BJP emerged as the largest party with 89 seats, followed by JD(U) with 85 and LJP(RV) with 19. The Opposition's lead party RJD collapsed to 25 seats, while Congress won merely 6. This triumph extends a pattern of dominance the BJP and its alliances have demonstrated across multiple Indian states in recent years. From Maharashtra's landslide to Odisha's historic breakthrough, the party has systematically weakened opposition forces. States like Andhra Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, and Gujarat have witnessed similar outcomes, with the BJP either winning comfortably alone or through strategic coalitions. These consecutive electoral victories mark a significant shift in India's political landscape, establishing the BJP's formidable presence nationwide.
