Bihar elections prove Modi’s popularity in Hindi heartland, send global message

The NDA’s sweeping victory in the Bihar elections reinforces its national legitimacy and secures political stability for the Centre until 2029. With support from Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) and Chandrababu Naidu’s TDP, the BJP-led alliance remains firmly in power despite earlier opposition predictions of collapse. Nitish Kumar’s clean governance record, strong women-centric welfare policies, and extensive infrastructure development drove the NDA’s success, while the Mahagathbandhan—particularly the RJD and Congress—suffered major losses. Improved law and order, consolidation of the Hindu vote, and effective NDA coordination also shaped the outcome. Internationally, the result strengthens India’s strategic position amid rising global interest and geopolitical shifts.
