Leading in 20 seats, Chirag Paswan has taken his LJP (RV) faction close to the party’s best-ever performance — 29 seats in February 2005 — under his father Ram Vilas Paswan. The NDA’s decision to give 29 seats to the LJP (RV) this time had raised eyebrows. With the results, Chirag has proved that the BJP leadership was right in placing its faith in him.
The RJD promised a government job to each of the 2.5 crore families in the state, 200 MW of free power, and Rs 2,500 to each woman per month under Mai Bahin Maan Yojana. But these promises appear not to have cut much ice with voters in the face of the success of the Nitish government’s welfare initiatives.
While Tejashwi Prasad Yadav’s jobs narrative did draw young voters during campaigning, it was the only a sizable vocal chunk he had. Eventually, it boiled down to social combination and leadership comparisons, and Tejashwi failed to break out of the mould of a Muslim-Yadav leader and also lagged far behind the tried-and-tested Nitish with his brand of social engineering mixed with development paradigm.

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) crossed 200-mark -- a significant tally to reach in an election to 243 Assembly seats. On the other hand, the Mahagathbandhan's score plunged to 37.

Yadav, who had recently floated his outfit after being expelled from the RJD, was trailing by 20,188 votes behind Sanjay Kumar Singh of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), who is leading there.
How have the parties fared in compared to 2020 polls? Let's have a look.
BJP's tally has shot up from 74 to 89 seats, while the JDU has recorded one of its strongest gains in recent years, rising from 43 to 79 — a jump of 34 seats.
The Mahagathbandhan is trailing far behind. RJD has dropped sharply from 75 to 32 seats, and Congress has fallen from 19 to 4. Other parties together account for 39 seats.
