The only big win for RJD was Tejashwi Yadav holding onto the Raghopur seat, defeating BJP’s Satish Kumar by a margin of 14,532 votes. He has held the seat for the last 10 years, defeating the BJP’s Kumar in both the 2015 and 2020 assembly elections.However, RJD emerged as the single largest party, in terms of vote share, with 22.76 per cent of votes, surpassing BJP’s 20.90 per cent and the JD(U)’s 18.92 per cent.The allies of the Mahagathbandhan, including Congress and Left parties, have pointed to discrepancies in polling data and the controversial Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls by the Election Commission to explain the alliance’s embarrassing defeat in the polls.Commenting on the poll results, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said, “This result in Bihar is truly surprising. We could not achieve victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning.””This fight is for the protection of the Constitution and democracy. The Congress Party and the INDIA alliance will deeply review this result and make their efforts to save democracy even more effective,” he added.The NDA showcased a spectacular win in Bihar by winning 202 out of the 243 seats, with BJP emerging as the largest party with most number of seats at 89, followed by JDU at 85.Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), which managed to win just one seat in the 2020 Assembly elections, emerged with 19 seats, making a significant impact.
