NDA hails Bihar mandate, says voters chose progress

Results reflect the endorsement of Modi-Nitish's vision of development, say NDA leaders; Congress slams CPI-M, questions Left's commitment to INDIA Bloc

- 

Leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Saturday thanked the people of Bihar for delivering a sweeping mandate in the Assembly elections, asserting that the results reflect the public's endorsement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's vision for the state's development.

In a decisive electoral outcome, the NDA surged far past the majority mark of 122 seats, tightening its hold over Bihar as the ruling coalition secured a commanding victory.

The alliance, led by Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United), saw its numbers significantly boosted by a strong performance from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) as the alliance bagged 202 seats.

In contrast, the Opposition Mahagathbandhan, comprising the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties, suffered a severe setback.

Minister Ashok Chaudhary expressed gratitude to voters for placing their trust in the partnership between CM Nitish Kumar and PM Narendra Modi, along with the alliance's five partners.
