Bihar Assembly Deputy Speaker Narendra Narayan Yadav on Sunday exuded confidence in the victory of the National Democratic Alliance, stating that the NDA will win all five seats of Bihar in the forthcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

"NDA will win all five seats. We have that much confidence... (On the fifth seat) no hitch is arising. We sit together in one place, discussions happen among ourselves that no vote should be missed, we keep repeating just that," Yadav told ANI.

Earlier, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary expressed confidence in the victory of NDA candidates in the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections.

Speaking with the media, Choudhary said that the candidates have been chosen carefully and said that the alliance stands united.

"We have fielded five candidates after careful consideration. The entire NDA is united, and we will win all five seats," he said.

Meanwhile, Union Minister Chirag Paswan said that the NDA will emerge victorious in Bihar, adding that the alliance has "numerical strength and unity."

"We are fully prepared for this. There is no doubt about it at all. NDA's candidates will win all five seats in Bihar and go to the Rajya Sabha as MPs... We have the numerical strength, the entire NDA is moving forward with unity...," he told the media.

The polling for the biennial elections to the Council of States (Rajya Sabha) to fill the 37 seats across 10 states is scheduled to take place on March 16, with the counting of votes on the same day at 5 pm.

The term of 37 members who were elected from Maharashtra, Odisha, Tamil Nadu, West Bengal, Assam, Bihar, Chhattisgarh, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, and Telangana will conclude in the month of April, vacating the seats for new members to be elected.

Unity is key! Good to see the alliance partners speaking in one voice. Bihar needs stable and strong representation at the centre to push for its development projects. All the best to the candidates!

While the math might be in their favor, such absolute confidence before the vote feels a bit like taking the electorate for granted. A little humility wouldn't hurt. The focus should be on what these MPs will actually *do* in the Upper House.

Watching from outside India, the Rajya Sabha elections are a fascinating process. It's interesting to see how state-level politics directly feeds into national policy-making. Hope the elected members work on issues like education and healthcare.

"No vote should be missed" – that's the mantra! This shows good internal discipline. Let's see if this unity lasts beyond the elections and helps in bringing special category status or equivalent benefits for Bihar. That's the real test.

The candidates have been chosen carefully, they say. I just hope they are chosen for their capability and vision for Bihar, not just for political equations. We need strong voices in Delhi, not just yes-men.
