New Delhi [India], November 14 : Union Minister Giriraj Singh predicted a decisive victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections as the ruling coalition was leading in several constituencies based on early trends.
NDA Set for Big Win, Says Giriraj Singh
Giriraj Singh was completely sure of the NDA’s mandate, saying that Bihar has voted for peace, justice and development. He claimed he had seen this landslide coming since the start when voters showed unequivocal enthusiasm for the Government.
“I was saying from day 1 that we will have a landslide victory in Bihar. The people of Bihar were always so enthusiastic about this government. The people of Bihar have voted for peace, justice and development,” Singh told ANI.
Opposition Alleges Voter Deletion
“When you delete 65 lakh voters–mostly from the opposition’s voters –what do you expect on result day? Democracy cannot survive if the playing field is tilted before the match even begins,” Congress MP Manickam Tagore posted on X.
NDA Crosses Halfway Mark in Early Trends
According to the latest leads from the Election Commission, the NDA crossed the halfway 122-seat mark.
Total Leads (229 seats counted): NDA – 167

RJD: 43 leads
Congress: 8 leads
CPI(ML): 6 leads
