PM Modi’s influence was decisive in Bihar elections 2025. His 14 rallies and road shows set the course for NDA’s victory. In the seats where Modi campaigned, the NDA got huge success, leading to a record victory for the alliance.
Patna: What happened this time in Bihar politics can be summed up in one line, “Wherever PM Modi’s convoy went, the wheel of NDA’s victory turned faster.” The results have made it clear that the Modi factor was not only present for the BJP and NDA, but was in overdrive mode.
Modi has decided the direction of victory
During the entire election campaign, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held 14 rallies and one high-voltage road show in Bihar. Each rally overshadowed the other parties in terms of crowd, energy and message. Political analysts are saying that this time the election was actually framed in the frame of “Modi versus the rest”, and the public inclination was clearly in favor of the NDA. The enthusiasm of Modi’s meetings among the people was visible in such a way that in many areas, a big change was seen in the voting pattern immediately after the rallies.
Wherever Modi went, NDA’s score was on record.
Counting of results shows that most of the seats where Modi held rallies went to the NDA. At many places, NDA candidates got such a lead that disappointment spread among the opposition parties. In the areas where the contest was considered to be tough, after Modi’s rallies the equations rapidly tilted towards NDA. This had a direct impact on the final results and the alliance registered a record-breaking victory in Bihar.
NDA got strong support from youth and women votes
The number of women voters was large in this election and Modi’s speeches featured special announcements for women and youth. This vote bank inclined towards NDA proved to be a big blow for the opposition. Modi’s popularity among young voters led to unexpected victories for the BJP and its allies in many tough seats.
Opposition failed in front of Modi magic
The RJD-Congress alliance tried to fight the elections on unemployment, caste equations and local issues, but Modi’s national narrative overshadowed them. Crowds were seen in the rallies of his star campaigners, but this could not be converted into votes. NDA also made a dent in many traditional seats of RJD, and the main reason for this was Modi factor + proper micro management of seats.
Where did the Prime Minister hold meetings?
The Prime Minister held meetings in Samastipur, Begusarai, Muzaffarpur (Motipur), Chhapra, Arrah, Nawada, Saharsa, Katihar, Araria, Bhagalpur, Bhabua, Aurangabad, Sitamarhi and Bettiah. Apart from this, PM also did a road show in Patna.
