Impact of SIR evident in NDA’s huge mandate in Bihar polls, says BJP Kerala Chief

People of Kerala also deserve a government which assures them good governance, he added.The NDA coalition, comprising the JDU and the BJP as key allies, swept the Bihar polls, winning 202 out of the 243 constituencies, while the opposition Mahagathbandhan was reduced to just 35 seats.The allies of the Mahagathbandhan, including Congress and Left parties, have pointed to discrepancies in polling data and the SIR of electoral rolls to explain the alliance’s defeat in the polls.Nearly 65 lakh names were deleted from Bihar’s voter list during the SIR, which was held just ahead of the Assembly polls. The opposition parties had pointed out several discrepancies in the final voter list published after the SIR.Seemanchal, which includes Kishanganj, Katihar, Araria, and Purnea, reported the highest 7.7 per cent deletions. The Magadh division, on the other hand, saw the highest addition of voters, at 2.6 per cent, across its seven districts.In 2020, the opposition had dominated Magadh, winning 30 of 47 seats, while the NDA managed only 17. However, the NDA swept the Magadh-Bhojpur region in the 2025 polls, winning over 50 seats.Several pleas challenging the SIR are pending before the Supreme Court.
