In a post on X, Millben celebrated the coalition’s performance and also expressed joy over singer Maithili Thakur’s win, referring to her as “little sister.”

“Women voters in Bihar are the stars of this election!” Millben wrote, crediting female voters for shaping the result.

Mary Millben hits out at Rahul Gandhi

Millben took a sharp dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and his party as the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) surged toward a sweeping victory in the Bihar Assembly elections.

The US singer posted a strongly worded message on X, targeting Congress supporters who had earlier trolled her for backing the BJP.

Millben’s message to Congress

“Dear Rahul Gandhi, Congress, and all the ‘Gandhi Goons’ trolling me on X several weeks ago and now following my friend PM Narendra Modi and the BJP sweeping the Bihar election today,” she wrote, as trends showed the NDA crossing the 200-seat mark in the 243-member Assembly.

Nitish Kumar’s leadership tested—and reaffirmed

For Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who has governed Bihar for nearly two decades, this election was widely viewed as a test of public trust and political resilience. Though once celebrated as “Sushashan Babu” for restoring order and governance, he has in recent years faced accusations of inconsistency and voter fatigue.

NDA scores decisive victory in Bihar, BJP emerges as single largest party

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has clinched a sweeping victory in the Bihar Assembly elections, comfortably crossing the majority mark of 122 seats required to form the next government.

The BJP emerged as the single largest party, winning 89 seats, up from 74 in the previous 2020 elections. Nitish Kumar's JD(U) performed even better, securing 85 seats, nearly doubling its previous tally of 43. The majority mark in the Assembly is 122 seats.

Strong showing by allies

The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) [LJP(RV)] has also put up a noteworthy performance, securing 16 out of the 29 seats it contested—an outcome that reinforces its relevance within the NDA bloc.

Opposition falters

On the opposition side, the Mahagathbandhan has suffered a major blow. The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the main opposition, suffered a significant defeat, winning only 25 seats compared to 75 in the last election. The Congress party also faced a setback, securing just six of the 61 seats it contested, down from 19 previously.
