Public answered questions of Opposition Chirag Paswan on NDA's massive win in Bihar Assembly elections

LJP chief Chirag Paswan declares public verdict ended Opposition's allegations as NDA wins 202 seats in Bihar assembly elections with historic landslide victory.

"There is no bigger court than that of the public. When the public makes decisions for you, several questions end with a full stop - Chirag Paswan"

Patna, November 20

Union Minister and LJP (RV) chief Chirag Paswan on Thursday said that the public has "answered a lot of questions of the Opposition, " referring to the various allegations laid on the NDA by Mahagathbandhan.

Speaking to reporters, Chirag Paswan said, "I think the public has answered a lot of questions of the Opposition who had levelled several allegations. There is no bigger court than that of the public. When the public makes decisions for you, several questions end with a full stop".

"Be it PK or other Opposition leaders who had crossed all limits of arrogance and didn't even wait for the public mandate to announce their oath ceremony on 18th November," Paswan added.

Mahagathbandhan, during its election campaign, levied the "vote theft" allegation and also accused the NDA government of "deteriorating" law and order in Bihar.

The NDA registered a historic landslide victory in the 2025 Bihar assembly polls, winning 202 of the 243 seats, while the Mahagathbandhan managed to secure only 35 seats. The ruling alliance secured a three-fourths majority in the 243-member Bihar Assembly, marking the second time the NDA crossed the 200-seat mark in state polls. In 2010, it had won 206 seats.

Earlier today, Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar was sworn in as Bihar Chief Minister for a record 10th time. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha on Thursday took oath as Bihar Deputy Chief Ministers in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other prominent leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

The swearing-in ceremony was administered by Bihar Governor Arif Mohammad Khan. A total of 25 leaders, apart from Nitish Kumar, took oath as part of the new NDA-led Bihar Cabinet.

Among them were Samrat Choudhary (BJP), Vijay Kumar Sinha (BJP), Vijay Kumar Choudhary (JD-U), Bijendra Prasad Yadav (JD-U), Shravan Kumar (JD-U), Mangal Pandey (BJP), Dilip Kumar Jaiswal (BJP) and Ashok Choudhary (JD-U).

Others who joined the Cabinet include Lesi Singh (JD-U), Madan Sahani (JD-U), Nitin Nabin (BJP), Ram Kripal Yadav (BJP), Santosh Kumar Suman of HAM(S), Sunil Kumar (JD-U), Mohammad Zama Khan (JD-U) and Sanjay Singh Tigar (BJP).

The list also features Arun Shankar Prasad (BJP), Surendra Mehta (BJP), Narayan Prasad (BJP), Rama Nishad (BJP), Lakhendra Kumar Raushan (BJP) and Shreyashi Singh (BJP).

Additionally, Pramod Kumar (BJP), Sanjay Kumar of LJP(RV), Sanjay Kumar Singh of LJP(RV) and Deepak Prakash of the RLM were sworn in as ministers.

The arrogance shown by opposition leaders before counting was really disappointing. Announcing oath ceremony dates before results? That's taking voters for granted. Glad people taught them a lesson.

While NDA's victory is impressive, I hope the new government focuses on real issues like unemployment and infrastructure. Winning elections is one thing, delivering on promises is another. Let's see some actual development work now.

As someone who has been following Bihar politics for years, this massive mandate shows people want stability and development. Nitish Kumar's experience combined with BJP's organizational strength seems to be working for Bihar.

202 seats out of 243! That's not just victory, that's complete domination. The opposition's "vote theft" allegations sound like sour grapes now. When you lose this badly, better to accept defeat gracefully.

Interesting to see how regional parties are aligning with national alliances. The diverse cabinet with representation from different communities shows inclusive politics. Hope this translates into inclusive development too.

Nitish Kumar becoming CM for the 10th time is historic! But I really hope this time the focus remains on women's safety and education. Bihar needs more schools and better law enforcement. 🙏
