Bihar: The Bihar Assembly Election 2025 has brought a surprising twist as several star candidates are struggling to maintain their positions. While the counting continues, the NDA alliance is showing a powerful lead across the state. In Chapra, BJP’s Chhoti Kumari has taken a clear advantage, leaving RJD’s popular actor Khesari Lal Yadav behind.
His supporters had expected a strong fight, but the numbers are not in his favour. The voter turnout shows a shift in public mood. Many voters seem to prefer experienced political faces over celebrity names. This trend is now visible in several major seats.
In Alinagar, singer Maithili Thakur is moving ahead with a strong lead. She is contesting her first election on a BJP ticket, and her debut performance is turning into a remarkable success. She has received thousands of votes more than her RJD rival Binod Mishra. The margin continues to grow with every counting round. Her popularity as a cultural icon seems to have converted into solid votes.
People in the region appreciate her clean image and fresh appeal. Her campaign focused on development and youth issues. This strategy appears to have worked very well among local voters.
The Karaghar seat has brought disappointment for Bhojpuri singer and Jan Suraj Party candidate Ritesh Ranjan, also known as Ritesh Pandey. He is trailing far behind, receiving only a few thousand votes. On the other hand, JDU’s Basishtha Singh has taken a massive lead and looks set to win comfortably. Congress candidate Santosh Mishra is in the second position, but even he is unable to challenge the JDU margin.
It seems voters of Karaghar prioritized stability over glamour. Local reports suggest that development promises and ground-level work had a stronger impact than celebrity popularity. This seat has become one of the clear wins for the JDU.
Across Bihar, the early trends show that NDA has reached more than 190 seats. This number is far above the majority mark, giving the alliance a commanding position. On the other hand, the Mahagathbandhan is struggling to cross even 50 seats. The huge gap shows a major shift in public opinion.
Analysts believe that issues like law and order, employment, and local leadership played an important role. Many voters say they want a stable government. The strong numbers also show confidence in the BJP-JDU partnership. This wave has surprised even senior political observers.
Chapra attracted maximum attention because of actor Khesari Lal Yadav’s presence. But as the results show, BJP’s Chhoti Kumari has managed to stay ahead from the beginning. The vote difference has slowly increased. Supporters say her simple image and strong local network helped her gain trust.
Meanwhile, Khesari’s emotional appeal did not turn into votes. Some voters said they want leaders who stay connected with them throughout the year. This seat has become a major talking point. It reflects how star power alone is not enough in a competitive political field.
In some seats, independent candidates tried to pull attention but struggled to gain real momentum. In Alinagar, independent candidate Saifuddin Ahmed received only a small number of votes. Similarly, in Karakat, independent candidate Jyoti Singh, wife of Bhojpuri actor Pawan Singh, is trailing behind by a big margin.
JDU’s Mahabali Singh is leading strongly in the area. CPI-ML is in the second position. Voters appear to be choosing clear political alternatives instead of independent experiments. This trend has made the NDA advantage even stronger.
As vote counting continues, one thing is clear: the NDA is heading toward a sweeping victory. Star candidates who were expected to create tough battles are not performing as predicted. Voters seem focused on governance and stability. If the current trend continues, Bihar’s political landscape will take a new shape.
NDA leaders are confident, while the opposition is facing heavy setbacks. The final results are yet to come, but the trend shows a major political shift. Bihar’s voters have delivered a strong message through their choices. The coming hours will confirm how big this change becomes.
