Union Minister Giriraj Singh reacted strongly to the early trends of the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, declaring that the emerging mandate clearly belongs to the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance. With the NDA gaining a comfortable lead during the initial hours of counting, he insisted that the people of Bihar had rejected what he termed as jungle raj and corruption, choosing instead a government that prioritises stability and development. Singh, who represents Begusarai in the Lok Sabha, emphasised that the results reflect the public’s desire for a continued focus on growth and improved governance. He said the victory in Bihar was only the beginning and that the next major win for the BJP would come from West Bengal.

Singh stated that the people of Bihar had experienced both disorder and progress across different political eras and had chosen a path that ensures safety, justice and institutional development. He highlighted that while today’s youth may not have directly witnessed the period often referred to as jungle raj, the memories of older generations still influence the political landscape. According to him, Bihar’s steady expansion in technical institutions, medical colleges and social welfare systems has strengthened public confidence in the NDA’s approach. He argued that voters wanted continuity in this development-centred governance rather than a return to what he described as corrupt leadership.

Moving beyond Bihar, Singh further claimed that similar issues exist in West Bengal and that the BJP is prepared to challenge what he described as anarchy influenced by external elements. He expressed confidence that the people of Bengal would soon recognise the importance of political stability and development and predicted a wave of support for his party in the upcoming elections. Addressing questions about leadership in Bihar, he reaffirmed that Nitish Kumar would continue to lead the government, dismissing any speculation about a shift in power. He noted that the alliance had remained united through the campaign and that the clarity of leadership would support a smooth formation of the new government. Singh concluded that the NDA’s early lead in Bihar was a decisive indicator of public trust and a sign of broader political momentum for the party across eastern India.
