The NDA crossed 200 seats in Bihar because its electioneering was a system-carefully structured alliances, caste-layered outreach, narrative discipline and PM Modi's dominant leadership; writes Gautam Mukherjee

Bihar 2025 proved that political engineering—when executed with discipline and clarity—can deliver a mandate larger than any wave

The mandate of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 will remain historic and unequivocal.

The NDA crossed the 200-seat mark in a 243-member House. It is a feat that cannot be attributed to any single sentiment or wave. The BJP's extraordinary strike rate of over 90 per cent reflects an electoral machine functioning with utmost precision. In the election, the campaign of the NDA was defined by organisational synchronisation, coordination, and disciplined execution.

The base of this political apparatus was built on a carefully designed alliance framework. Each ally of the NDA brought strategic depth, caste-community penetration, and localized mobilisation to the table. As this robust political framework came firmly into place, BJP's chief strategist, Union Home Minister Amit Shah, transformed it into an instrument of dominance under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He ensured that every concept was converted into discipline on the ground, and every discipline ultimately translated into electoral dominance.
