For the RJD and Mahagathbandhan: Early trends indicate they are already under duress. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is leading in his seat (Raghopur), but wider trends show that the alliance they are lagging.
Bihar Election Results 2025:Caution and Caveat
While leads can inspire a sense of optimism, leads do not lock outcomes. There are a number of constituencies yet to fill out. Also, depending on celebrity candidates like Thakur, it can be advantageous or disastrous if the ground-level organisation of the party is not functioning. Moreover, the RJD has notched some strong pockets in the state that can be revealed later in the counts. The early count doesn’t mean the BJP has drawn the good fortune card. Performance, turnout and last-minute local factors can prove decisive in client change over a duration of the day.
