While, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) won an impressive 75 seats under the leadership of Lalu\u2019s youngest son Tejashwi Yadav, to become the single largest party. Of the 243 Assembly seats, the NDA won 74 seats and the Janata Dal (United) won 43 seats thereby surpassing the magic figure of 122. On the other hand, Congress managed to win just 19 seats having contested from 70 seats and Chirag Paswan\u2019s Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) won just a single seat. Political experts have pinned the Grand Alliance\u2019s failure on the Congress.<\/p>\n<p>PM Narendra Modi prior to the Bihar election results being announced took to Twitter to congratulate the people of Bihar. \u201cDemocracy has once again won in Bihar with the blessings of the people. The determination and dedication with which all NDA workers worked with them is awe-inspiring. I congratulate the workers and express my heartfelt gratitude to the people of Bihar,\u201d the PM tweeted, adding that the NDA would strive for the balanced development of every person and region in the state.<\/p>\n<p>It is known that the NDA was leading ahead in those seats where PM Modi had rallied. Also, the intense campaign witnessed Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, UP CM Yogi Adityanath and BJP President JP Nadda drop in action for the NDA.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Election Commission announced the BJP led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as the victor at 3 AM on Wednesday, providing much relief for CM Nitish Kumar who will lead the state for the fourth consecutive term.
