“Bihar main kiski sarkar? jiske saath Nitish Kumar..”

After the polling Bihar assembly, now in Patna a slogan is floating - "Bihar main kiski sarkar? Nitish Kumar jiske saath." How effective is this slogan -only results will tell.

NDA Government in Bihar
 

Whispers’ sources anticipate that NDA is coming to power in Bihar again with seats between 125 and 130. One can wait and watch!
 
First phase favoured NDA while second changed trends in favour of MGB as per sources

The first phase of the Bihar elections has reportedly gone strongly in favour of NDA, with the alliance consolidating its position across traditional strongholds and benefiting from effective booth management and a unified campaign message centered around governance and stability. However, as voting moved into the second phase, a perceptible shift has emerged on the ground. The Mahagathbandhan (MGB) seems to be regaining momentum, particularly in semi-urban and rural belts where discontent over unemployment, agrarian stress, and local leadership gaps within the NDA have begun influencing voter sentiment. The presence of strong local MGB candidates and a renewed effort to connect with backward and minority communities have added to this shift. While the NDA continues to hold a structural edge, the changing mood in certain districts suggests that the second phase could see much tighter contests, potentially setting the tone for a competitive third phase.
