Prashant Kishor Bihar Election Result 2025: Jan Suraaj draws blank in ECI trends

The NDA stormed to a historic win in the Bihar Assembly elections on Friday. While there are some predictable results, some wins have been surprising. Take a look here.

On Jan Suraaj founder Prashant Kishor's reported statement that he would quit politics if JDU managed to score even 25 seats in the Bihar Assembly Election 2025, Union Minister Chirag Paswan says, " He should then stay true to his words... But I am not happy at someone's loss, but at our victory." (ANI)

Political analyst Deepak Kochgave told HT, “I believe Prashant Kishor has done his job. He has provided a cushion for deflecting the anti-NDA votes away from the Mahagathbandhan or Grand Alliance.”

Although the RJD is only leading in 24 seats compared to the BJP's 96 and the JD(U)'s 85, it still has managed to get the highest percentage of vote share among all parties in the Bihar assembly polls - 22.73%

One netizen backed the former poll strategist by saying, “If you are a well-informed and genuinely concerned Bihari who cares about the state’s real issues and development, you can’t forget the contributions of Prashant kishor who has clearly emerged as the true voice of the people while rising above caste and religious politics .”

West Champaran (Bihar): On Bihar assembly election results, BJP leader and MP Sanjay Jaiswal says, "... I have been saying this since the beginning, the NDA is winning with a clear majority. Prashant Kishor was visible only on social media, not on the ground among people. Tejashwi has one position fixed, and that is RJD's chief. After him, his children will take over that position. As long as RJD are with criminals, the public is not going to accept them."

Journalist and author Manu Joseph, in an X post, said, “Prashant Kishor's election performance reminds me of what happens when literary critics write their debut novels.”

Jan Suraaj Bihar president Manoj Bharti on early trends showing NDA’s victory told PTI, “We have been saying from the start that we are trying to bring new politics to Bihar. It is tough to take this politics to the people of Bihar. Prashant Kishor always said if people understood what we were saying, we would be on top; if they didn’t, we would fail. These trends show that people have failed to understand us, and we also failed to make them understand.”

Is Prashant Kishor headed for a big poll debacle? EC trends show the party leading on zero seats as the NDA rages on to lead on over 190 of the total 243 seats

The NDA has crossed the majority mark and is leading on 140 seats (JD(U) 62, BJP 59, LJP(RV) 15, HAMS 4) and Mahagathbandhan leading on 46 seats (RJD 34, Congress 10, CPI(ML)L 2) as per the early trends of Election Commission. Others and Independent leading on 6 seats.
