Bihar Assembly Election 2025 NDA Seat Sharing: The stirring of Bihar assembly elections 2025 has intensified. The seat sharing of the NDA coalition is almost fixed and the voter list controversy has made the political atmosphere more complicated due to the SIR (Special Intensive Revision) process. Will JDU and BJP be able to maintain balance in their quota this time? And will the voter verification dispute affect the election results?
Will JDU be able to play the role of elder brother?
The data released by Dainik Bhaskar quoted sources as saying that this time JDU will contest 102 seats, while BJP will contest 101 seats. LJP (R) has been given 20 seats, HAM and RLM 10-10 seats. Although the official announcement has not been made yet, it is believed that the NDA may soon hold a press conference.
Will this seat sharing keep the balance between JDU and BJP?
The last time the BJP contested 110 seats and won 74. At the same time, JDU won only 43 out of 115 seats. This time JDU has got 102 seats and BJP will once again be seen in the role of “elder brother”.
If you look at the figures of previous elections in 2020:
- BJP won 74 out of 110 seats.
- JDU won only 43 out of 115 seats.
How important is the role of LJP, HAM and RLM?
In 2020, Chirag Paswan’s LJP contested 135 seats alone, but won only one seat. Now LJP is part of the NDA and has got 20 seats in the alliance. HAM and RLM can also prove to be decisive for NDA. HAM contested 7 seats in 2020 and won 4. The RLM is also now with the NDA and has been given 10 seats in the alliance. This small but strategic alliance can prove to be important for NDA, especially in areas where JDU and BJP hold hold.
Will the SIR process affect the rights of voters?
The SIR process started in Bihar in 2025, under which the names of about 65 lakh voters have been removed from the voter list so far. This includes 12.5 lakh dead voters, 17.5 lakh migrants and 5.5 lakh duplicate names. The opposition alleges that the process is a conspiracy against the “My and PDA voters” (Muslim-Yadav, backward-dalit-paradise). Tejashwi Yadav of RJD has described it as a threat to democracy. The Election Commission says that this process is only to remove the names of dead, migrant and illegal voters. But the strictness of documents has increased problems for rural and poor classes.
SIR controversy: Will the Supreme Court intervene change?
The Supreme Court on 14 August 2025 ordered the Election Commission to accept the Aadhaar card, voter ID card and ration card as a valid document. The court also directed that a complete list and reasons of the removed names should be made public. On August 22, the court reiterated the order, which the Congress described as a “victory of democracy”. Now voters can submit the form first and there will also be an option to submit documents later.
Third Front and NDA alliance: Will seat sharing decide the equation of victory-defeat?
This time the NDA includes JDU, BJP, LJP (R), HAM and RLM. Parties like VIP and Ham were in NDA in the last elections, but now VIP is part of the Grand Alliance and is with Kushwaha’s RLM NDA. This time the synergy of 5 parties in a total of 243 seats will affect the results of the election.
Can the voter dispute change the election results?
SIR disputes, strictness of documents and Aadhaar card issue can affect the electoral strategy. The opposition is watching it as Voting Rights Suppression.
Is NDA preparing with a lesson of previous necklace?
Bihar Assembly Elections can prove challenging for 2025 NDA. Seat sharing, SIR dispute and voter verification have increased electoral stir. JDU and BJP coordination, the role of the third front and the order of the Supreme Court, all together can decide the results of the Bihar election. In the last assembly election, NDA won only 58 seats in 243. This time there are 5 parties in the alliance, and in addition to JDU and BJP, there will be a total of 40 seats in the account of LJP, HAM and RLM.
