Grand Alliance Confident of Return — “Guarantees Will Be Implemented”
In a series of press conferences and rallies, Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders reiterated their belief that the Mahagathbandhan government is certain to return to power in Bihar.
The Congress declared that once the alliance forms the government, it will implement its five major guarantees, focusing on job creation, farm debt relief, women’s welfare, and education reforms.
State Congress chief Akhilesh Prasad Singh said during a rally in Patna,
“People have seen through the false promises of the ruling coalition. Bihar deserves change, and this time, the Mahagathbandhan will fulfill its guarantees the moment we return to power.”
The focus keyword “Bihar Assembly Elections 2025” has become synonymous with a battle over credibility and governance — one side promising continuity, the other promising reform.
Phase 2 of Bihar Elections 2025: 122 Seats at Stake
The second phase of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 covers 122 constituencies across northern and eastern Bihar, including politically significant regions such as Purnia, Kishanganj, Araria, Rohtas, Aurangabad, and Sasaram.
Voting will be held on November 11, marking the culmination of a two-phase electoral process that began on November 6.
Both ruling and opposition alliances held their final campaign rallies on Sunday, November 9, with leaders making last-minute appeals to voters to “vote for stability and development.”
NDA’s Counter: “No Vacancy for Chief Minister in Bihar”
Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah led an aggressive campaign in Sasaram and Arwal, directly targeting the opposition bloc.
Referring to the RJD-Congress alliance, Shah said,
“There is no vacancy for the Chief Minister’s post in Bihar. The Mahagathbandhan is fighting among themselves even before coming to power.”
Shah accused the opposition of running a “campaign of confusion” and said the NDA had delivered on promises of law and order, infrastructure, and welfare schemes since 2020.
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 thus pit the NDA’s “development agenda” against the Mahagathbandhan’s “social justice narrative.”
Yogi Adityanath and Nitish Kumar Join Final Push
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath campaigned extensively in the border districts, addressing rallies in Chatapur, Narpatganj, Bisfi, and Sikti. He attacked the RJD and Congress, saying they would “puncture Bihar’s development” if voted back into power.
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, campaigning for his seventh consecutive term, highlighted the NDA’s record in education, health, and infrastructure.
He reminded voters of the era of “jungle raj” and urged them not to “allow chaos to return.”
“Our government has built schools, hospitals, and roads in every district. Women have been empowered and law and order restored. We must move forward, not backward,” Kumar told supporters in Rohtas and Aurangabad.
The Bihar election news cycle has been dominated by the contrasting narratives of continuity versus change, stability versus promises.
Rahul Gandhi in Seemanchal: “Vote Theft Is an Attack on Constitution”
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, addressing large rallies in Kishanganj and Purnia, focused on issues of unemployment, inflation, and alleged electoral irregularities.
He accused the ruling alliance of “vote theft,” calling it “an attack on the Constitution.”
“The people of this country are being cheated. Their votes are being stolen, and democracy is under threat. Bihar will lead the fight to restore justice,” Gandhi said.
His remarks found resonance in parts of Seemanchal, where minority voters hold significant sway.
The Bihar Phase 2 campaigns thus concluded on a dramatic note, with sharp exchanges between top leaders and emotional appeals to the electorate.
Voter Sentiment: Jobs, Prices, and Youth Discontent Dominate
As per early ground reports, employment, inflation, and migration remain the top concerns among Bihar’s young voters.
Many first-time voters say they are disillusioned with “tall promises” and want concrete steps for economic revival.
Anita Kumari, a first-time voter from Darbhanga, said,
“All parties promise jobs during elections, but we want action now. Bihar youth need real opportunities, not slogans.”
Analysts suggest that both alliances have faced the challenge of reconnecting with ground-level aspirations, especially in rural areas where development has been uneven.
Background: Political Dynamics of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 are being conducted in two phases — November 6 and November 11 — with results to be declared on November 14.
The elections are crucial for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who faces strong anti-incumbency after nearly two decades in power.
The Mahagathbandhan, comprising the RJD, Congress, and Left parties, is projecting itself as a “pro-youth, pro-poor” alternative.
Meanwhile, the NDA, led by the BJP and JD(U), banks on its administrative record, social welfare programs, and Nitish Kumar’s image of stability.
Expert View: “A Close Contest With Regional Undercurrents”
Political observers predict that the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 could be among the closest contests in a decade, with regional factors influencing outcomes in Seemanchal, Magadh, and Bhojpur.
Dr. R.K. Verma, political analyst at Patna University, said,
“Both alliances have strongholds, but local issues and caste equations will play a major role in deciding results. The turnout in Phase 2 will be crucial.”
Experts also note that youth participation and women voters could tilt the scales, especially in urban constituencies.
