Why Did NDA Win Bihar 2025? Key Factors

• Strong focus on infrastructure, law & order, and women-centric policies.

2. PM Modi’s Campaign Influence

• Modi’s rallies highlighted central schemes (Ayushman Bharat, PM Awas Yojana), boosting NDA’s appeal.

3. Opposition’s Weak Strategy

• RJD-Congress infighting and lack of a clear CM face hurt their prospects.
