Following the Mahagathbandhan’s severe defeat, which saw the NDA win 202 seats, Congress MP and Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi stated on X that the Bihar Assembly election was “not fair from the very beginning,” calling the surprising result a setback in the larger fight for the “protection of the Constitution and democracy.”
Mahagathbandhan Performance Summary
Congress: Won a “measly” six seats out of 61 contested (down from 19 in 2020).
RJD: Won only 25 seats out of 143 contested (down from 75 in 2020).
NDA Total: Secured a dominant win with 202 seats in the 243-member Assembly.
