Bihar: Mahagathbandhan CM face Tejashwi Yadav trails in Raghopur as opposition coalition faces massive collapse

Patna/IBNS: Mahagathbandhan's CM face and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is trailing from Raghopur as the grand alliance is staring at a colossal defeat in the Bihar assembly elections.

While Tejashwi is trailing in his home turf, his brother Tej Pratap Yadav, who is a candidate of his own party Janshakti Janta Dal, is also lagging behind from Mahua.

The ruling NDA in Bihar looked set for a landslide victory in early counting on Friday, with the alliance nearing the 200-mark mark driven by strong performances by both the Janata Dal (United) and the BJP.

Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) posted a remarkable upswing, emerging as the single-largest party in the first several rounds of counting.

The party was leading in a majority of the seats it contested, while ally BJP also secured strong leads across multiple constituencies — positioning the NDA firmly ahead of the opposition.

By mid-morning, trend trackers across major networks showed the NDA tally moving past the 180–190 seat range, placing the coalition on course to form the next government if these numbers hold.

Election analysts, however, cautioned that several rounds of counting remained and fluctuations were still possible as postal ballots and EVM rounds continued.

The opposition Mahagathbandhan is leading in less than 50 seats as the tally of seats had a freefall.
