NDA’s Big Bihar Surge: Experts Decode RJD’s Collapse & Nitish Kumar’s Comeback
NDA storms to a massive lead in Bihar as Nitish Kumar rebounds and RJD slips sharply. Experts explain what drove the landslide verdict.
In this detailed conversation hosted by Ms Barkha Dutt, political commentators, analysts, and party representatives examined the dramatic shifts seen in the Bihar election trends. Among the key voices was Tavleen Singh, senior journalist, who opened by highlighting RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav’s comfortable personal win but the party’s sharp decline compared to the last election.
The discussion began with the NDA’s sweeping lead across Bihar. Barkha Dutt guided the panel through real-time results showing the BJP emerging as the single largest party, with a strong rise in vote share, and the JDU under Nitish Kumar making an unexpected and powerful comeback, outperforming even the BJP in several phases of counting.
Experts like Arti Jerath and Nilanjan Mukhopadhyay explained why the RJD’s vote base failed to convert into seats—weak alliance partners, Congress’s poor strike rate, and lack of joint campaigning. Analysts also noted that Nitish Kumar’s welfare-driven appeal, especially among women, played a decisive role.
Several panelists discussed the “vote-chori” narrative raised by the opposition, concluding it had little impact on the ground. Instead, voters appeared to reward stability, welfare delivery, and local leadership.
As results continued to stabilize, Barkha Dutt emphasized that while the election wasn’t officially called, the NDA’s landslide victory was unmistakable, and Nitish Kumar was widely expected to return as Chief Minister.
Toward the conclusion, Barkha observed that the results represented not only a setback for the RJD but raised serious questions for the Congress and the INDIA bloc’s national strategy.
