New Delhi, Nov 15 (NationPress) Following the declaration of the Bihar Assembly election results, Union Minister and LJP (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan met with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday to convey his congratulations on the NDA's impressive mandate. Paswan shared his sentiments on X, saying, “In light of today's Bihar Assembly Election results, I had the honor to congratulate the esteemed Chief Minister of Bihar Shri Nitish Kumar Ji and extend my heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for the NDA's remarkable majority.”
After the meeting, Chirag Paswan emphasized the unity and solidarity within the ruling coalition. He remarked, "I visited the Chief Minister to personally congratulate him and send my best wishes. Under the guidance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the NDA secured a historic win. In my capacity as a representative of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), it was essential for me to convey our congratulations and good wishes..."
These comments come at a time when the NDA has solidified its position in Bihar with a significant, near-landslide victory. Leaders across the coalition have praised the results as a mandate for stability and continuity.
Echoing Paswan’s thoughts, LJP (RV) MP Rajesh Verma highlighted the party's notable performance in the state elections. He stated, "It is only natural that our party secured 19 seats, especially considering many were challenging. Nevertheless, we achieved a margin victory on 19 seats and narrowly lost on 2-3 others. This overwhelming mandate demonstrates that the people of Bihar see no alternative to the NDA. The status and numbers of the Mahagathbandhan clearly indicate the opposition's diminishing presence..."
In a decisive electoral result, the NDA surpassed the majority threshold of 122 seats, strengthening its hold over Bihar as the ruling coalition achieved a commanding victory.
The alliance, led by Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (United), significantly benefited from a robust performance by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), resulting in a total of 202 seats.
Conversely, the opposing Mahagathbandhan, which includes the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties, faced a major setback.
