Nitish Kumar, who first became the CM of a full term in 2005, is among the 10 longest-serving chief ministers in the country and has been in power for 20 years. He solidified his position as the most enduring and impactful leader in contemporary politics after the NDA secured a landslide victory in the Bihar Assembly elections.<\/p>\n

Kumar\u2019s tenure is defined by his governance-focused approach, which earned him the moniker of \u201cSushasan Babu” (Good Governance Man). Under his tenure, Bihar witnessed significant improvements in infrastructure, particularly road connectivity, and a marked decline in crime rates, often referred to as the \u201creturn of the rule of law” after the period of RJD governance \u2013 which is called \u201cjungle raj”.<\/p>\n

The NDA, led by the JD(U) and the BJP, secured a sweeping majority in the Bihar elections 2025, winning 202 of the 243 assembly seats. The BJP became the single-largest party with 89 seats, the JD(U) won 85, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) 19, the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) five and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha four.<\/p>\n

The opposition Mahagathbandhan was decimated to one of their worst performances in recent years, with the RJD under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav managing to secure only 25 seats, while the Congress fared worse by winning only six out of the 61 seats it had contested.<\/p>\n
