We will secure even more seats than are shown...: Bihar Minister Santosh Suman confident of NDA victory in Bihar

Bihar Minister Santosh Suman predicts NDA will win more seats than exit polls show, citing development work and historic voter turnout in assembly elections.

"I believe we will secure even more seats than are shown - Santosh Suman"

Patna, November 12

Bihar Minister and national president of Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), Santosh Kumar Suman, reflected confidence in NDA's victory in the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. He said that the people of the state are thrilled with the development work done by the National Democratic Alliance, and have faith in the ruling party.

"People are enthusiastic and confident of the work that NDA has done in Bihar, and that confidence can be seen in the form of votes...I believe we will secure even more seats than are shown," he said.

He took a swipe at the opposition,n stating that they are left behind due to their negligence to the general public, false promises, poor political strategies, etc.

"They don't have a leader... Neither are they ready to accept a leader... They have internal disputes over seat allocation... So, the voters notice everything... They want development and they know only NDA can bring that..." Suman stated.

He further highlighted the historic voter turnout, citing it as a victory of democracy. The state has seen record polling in the assembly polls.

The overall polling percentage for the two phases was 66.91 %. This is the highest voter turnout recorded in the State since 1951, according to the Election Commission. The first phase saw a voter turnout of 65.08%.

"This time, women voters were seen in a much higher percentage... They want peace, happiness, and growth in the state... The state aims for development... This time, the increased percentage of women voters will reflect on November 14..." he said.

Meanwhile, the first phase of polling was held on November 6, and the second phase concluded on Tuesday.

Earlier on Tuesday, the exit polls predicted that the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is poised to form the government again in Bihar. They predicted that the opposition Mahagathbandhan would fall short of the majority mark in the 243-member state assembly.

As a woman voter from Bihar, I appreciate the increased focus on women's safety and empowerment. The higher women voter turnout shows we want real change and development, not just empty promises.

While I respect the minister's confidence, I hope the government focuses more on job creation and education. Bihar still has a long way to go in these areas. The opposition's failure shouldn't mean automatic victory.

Historic voter turnout is a great sign for democracy! People are engaged and want to shape Bihar's future. The opposition really needs to get their act together - internal disputes are costing them credibility.

NDA has delivered on many promises, but let's not forget there are still villages without proper roads and healthcare. Hope the next term addresses these gaps. Development should reach every corner of Bihar.

The confidence is understandable given the exit polls, but in politics, anything can happen until the final results. The high voter turnout shows people want their voices heard, regardless of which party wins.
