Bihar Polls 2025: The excitement for the Bihar Assembly elections in 2025 has reached its peak. Today is the eighth and last day of nomination for 121 assemblies of the first phase. According to the Referendum Commission, candidates can file nomination papers till this evening, while scrutiny will take place on October 18. NDA has spoken all the candidates for its 243 seats, but the ravages regarding seat sharing still persists in the Grand Alliance. Nevertheless, RJD has started giving symbols to many candidates. Tejashwi Yadav filed a nomination from Raghopur, but the tussle in the syndication pushed the opposition on the when foot. Voting on 6 and 11 November, counting on 14.
NDA's confidence: Nitish is CM face, focus on development
BJP's national spokesperson Guru Prakash Paswan gave a well-spoken message regarding Nitish Kumar. In a tweet, he said, "Nitish Kumar is our leader. He has an wool majority. His track record of good governance and minutiae in Bihar is unmatched." This statement of Paswan shows the unity of NDA, where the strategy of keeping Nitish as the CM squatter is clear. On the other hand, BJP MP Ravi Kishan emphasized development. He said, "Development is our identity. Our focus is on women's safety and employment of youth." Kishan is on the star campaigner list, strengthening NDA's hold with Bhojpuri stars. BJP released the list of 40 star campaigners, which includes names like PM Modi, Amit Shah, Yogi Adityanath, and Pawan Singh.
Amit Shah will write the Prabuddhajan Sammelan in Patna today. JD(U) completed the NDA by releasing the second list of 44 candidates.
Shock to RJD: Sarfaraz Alam joins Jansuraj
Former Lok Sabha MP and four-time MLA from Jokihat Sarfaraz Alam resigned from RJD and joined Prashant Kishor's Jansuraj Party. Taslimuddin's son Alam is an influential Muslim leader of Seemanchal. As soon as he joined Jansuraj, he said, "Bihar will transpiration with Prashant Kishore's vision." This is a big wrack-up for RJD, expressly for the Muslim vote bank. Jansuraj has so far supposed candidates for 116 seats, in which EBC, OBC, and SC/ST are represented.
Prashant's taunt: Question on Samrat Chaudhary's education
Prashant Kishor attacked the educational qualification of NDA Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary. “Samrat Chaudhary has not yet clarified whether he has passed 10th or not,” Kishore said. Citing Chaudhary's affidavit, he said that despite lightweight in 10th, the requirement of a D.Litt. stratum seems false. This question is intensifying the referendum stir. Chaudhary is the BJP candidate from Tarapur.
The grand syndication decided the seat distribution late at night, but the utterance was delayed. Congress released the first list of 11 candidates. An RJD worker said, “We will come when stronger, but the wait in nomination today could rationalization damage.” At the same time, NDA workers are enthusiastic—"The Nitish-Modi pair is invincible."
What do people say?
Heated discussion at Patna's tea shops—"The wait of the grand syndication shows the weakness of the opposition." A youth said, "Employment and minutiae are the issue, not fake degrees." Jansuraj's entry created a triangular contest. Hopefully, the nomination is peaceful. ECI has asked to be strict.
This referendum will decide the future of Bihar. NDA's dominance, opposition's confusion—suspense continues. Check channels for live updates.
