In Bihar's election play, final act still uncertain
Hindustan Times Pune
|October 06, 2025
Bihar is immersed in politics even in the times of festivities. For Biharis, there's no better pastime than politics.
It would be interesting to see how many seats the JD(U) secures in the polls.

Over the last two decades, Bihar has coined a new adage - power follows where Nitish Kumar tilts. This is why, despite the BJP's growing tendency to edge out its alliance partners, it is content being the junior partner in the state. Even Lalu Prasad Yadav's RJD faced the same predicament when it was in an alliance with Nitish's JD(U).
Any party that's not with Nitish may apparently spew venom against him, but secretly fervently desires an alliance with him. This is the reason Lalu joined hands with Nitish in 2022 even after a bitter split in 2017. During the two Mahagathbandhan stints, BJP leaders publicly vowed never to ally with Nitish. However, today they are readying themselves to face the assembly elections with their "natural partner" for the third time in the state. How has Nitish emerged as this talisman of electoral victory in Bihar?
