Campaigning ends for 121 seats in the first phase of the Bihar Assembly election
As the clock ticks down to the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections, political campaigning officially concluded on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, for 121 constituencies that will head to the polls on November 6. The atmosphere across Bihar was charged with last-minute rallies, roadshows, and public appeals as both major alliances the ruling NDA and the Opposition INDIA bloc made their final pitches to the electorate.
High-Octane Campaigns Mark the End of First Phase
Top leaders from both sides hit the campaign trail aggressively in the final hours. BJP Ministers and Chief Ministers cautioned voters that a victory for the Opposition would lead to a return of the so-called ‘jungle raj of Lalu-Rabri’, invoking memories of lawlessness and misgovernance from earlier decades. Their message focused on stability, development, and the continuation of welfare schemes initiated under the NDA government.
Opposition Hits Back Over Unemployment and Development
On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav led the charge for the Opposition, turning their spotlight on the ruling alliance’s alleged failures. They questioned the NDA’s inability to provide sufficient job opportunities for Bihar’s youth and criticized the government’s record on education, health, and migration issues. The INDIA bloc framed the election as a fight for change and dignity, promising a “new Bihar” driven by employment and social justice.
Voters Hold the Key
With the campaigns now over, all eyes are on the voters of the 121 constituencies who will decide which vision of Bihar’s future resonates more the NDA’s narrative of continuity and governance or the Opposition’s promise of transformation and opportunity.
As the state braces for polling day on November 6, the mood is one of anticipation and high stakes. Bihar’s political battleground is once again set to play a defining role in shaping not only the state’s governance but also the broader national political narrative.
