Bihar Assembly Elections 2025
By Krishna Arya | Network Bharat
Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 : Bihar’s political battleground is live again as voting for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 began early this morning across 121 constituencies spanning 18 districts. The atmosphere is charged with enthusiasm, determination, and anticipation as over 3.75 crore voters step out to shape the future of the state’s governance.
Voter Enthusiasm Marks the Start of Polling
From the misty dawn hours, long queues of voters were seen outside polling booths in Patna, Gaya, Aurangabad, Nawada, and Jamui, with first-time voters turning out in significant numbers. Women and elderly citizens, some draped in shawls against the November chill, waited patiently to cast their votes.
Election officials reported peaceful polling in most regions, with EVMs functioning smoothly and tight security arrangements ensuring a fair process.
Key Contests to Watch
Several high-profile contests are unfolding in this phase. Constituencies like Gaya Town, Nawada, Banka, and Sheikhpura are witnessing direct face-offs between the NDA and Mahagathbandhan, testing the influence of local leaders and caste equations.
The BJP, JD(U), RJD, Congress, and LJP (R) have all deployed their star campaigners in these regions. Analysts say the results of this phase could set the tone for the remaining rounds of the election, shaping voter sentiment across the state.
Focus on Development and Youth Employment
This election cycle has seen a renewed push on issues of unemployment, infrastructure, and law & order. Young voters—making up almost 20% of the electorate—have voiced concerns about job opportunities and migration.
Meanwhile, women’s participation continues to rise, reflecting Bihar’s changing social fabric. Government welfare schemes, road connectivity, and education reforms have emerged as top talking points at polling booths.
Security and Turnout Trends
According to the Election Commission, more than 45,000 security personnel have been deployed, with web-casting and drone surveillance in sensitive areas. Early reports indicate a moderate to high turnout, expected to cross 60% by evening if trends continue.
Why Phase 1 Matters
Phase 1 is seen as a litmus test for both alliances. It includes several constituencies that flipped in 2020 and could determine the narrative heading into later phases. Political observers suggest that a strong showing here could give either camp the psychological edge needed for victory.
Final Word
As ballots are cast and the fate of candidates sealed in EVMs, Bihar once again proves why it remains the heart of India’s democratic vibrancy. Every vote counts, and every phase will tell a story of hope, change, and political awakening.
