As the nomination process for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 concludes, the political atmosphere in the state has turned vibrant with major parties launching extensive election campaigns. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP President JP Nadda, and opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav have all geared up for an action-packed political day in Bihar.
Modi and Shah Lead NDA Campaign in Bihar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to address two major rallies in Bihar today — one in Samastipur and another in Begusarai. Both districts are considered politically crucial for the BJP and its allies in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Before departing for Bihar, Modi posted a heartfelt message on social media, paying tribute to Bharat Ratna Karpoori Thakur and extending greetings to the people ahead of the Chhath festival.
Modi wrote that he feels honored to visit Samastipur to pay respects to Karpoori Thakur and will interact with families there around 12:15 PM. Later in the afternoon, around 2 PM, he will address a massive public meeting in Begusarai. He expressed confidence that the enthusiasm among the people of Bihar reflects a clear wave of support for the BJP-led NDA, predicting a strong victory in the upcoming elections.
In his message, the Prime Minister also mentioned the spirit of Chhath Puja, calling it a festival dedicated to nature and culture. He urged people to share traditional Chhath songs, adding that he would share some of them with the nation in the coming days.
Amit Shah’s Back-to-Back Rallies and Strategy Meetings
Union Home Minister Amit Shah will address rallies in Buxar and Siwan today. After completing his public meetings, Shah will stay overnight in Patna. Tomorrow, he is scheduled to attend three more rallies across different constituencies, continuing the NDA’s high-voltage campaign.
Sources close to the BJP’s Bihar unit say that Shah’s visit is part of a detailed campaign plan aimed at energizing ground-level workers and strengthening booth-level coordination. His meetings in Buxar and Siwan are expected to draw large crowds, reflecting the NDA’s effort to maintain its rural and semi-urban voter base.
JP Nadda’s Bihar Tour and Intellectuals’ Meet
BJP National President JP Nadda is also on a state tour to monitor the party’s campaign efforts. He will hold key meetings with state leaders and party officials to review the election strategy and organizational preparedness. In the evening, Nadda will attend the Prabuddhajan Sammelan (intellectuals’ conference) in Hajipur, where he will interact with professionals, educators, and social leaders.
The BJP’s Bihar leadership sees this as a crucial opportunity to highlight the central government’s achievements and connect them with the local development agenda. The party aims to project its double-engine government model as a major factor for stability and progress in the state.
Tejashwi Yadav Launches Grand Opposition Campaign
While the NDA leaders campaign aggressively, the opposition Mahagathbandhan has also begun its campaign with equal enthusiasm. Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav started his election tour today, covering multiple districts including Patna, Vaishali, Samastipur, and Muzaffarpur. He is scheduled to address five rallies and meetings throughout the day.
Tejashwi shared photos on his social media account showing himself in a helicopter alongside VIP Chief Mukesh Sahani and Indian Inclusive Party leader IP Gupta. His caption read, “With enthusiasm, hope, and confidence, our journey toward the destination continues.” The post quickly gained attention among his supporters, signaling the beginning of an intense political contest.
Political observers believe that Tejashwi’s campaign strategy focuses on youth mobilization and job creation promises, themes that played a key role in his party’s performance in the last assembly elections. The inclusion of Mukesh Sahani in his rallies is seen as an attempt to consolidate the Nishad and backward caste votes in the northern and central regions of Bihar.
CPI (ML) Also Steps Into the Campaign
The left front has also entered the electoral battlefield. CPI (ML) General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya is launching his campaign today from Arrah, one of the party’s traditional strongholds. The Left is expected to contest several seats under the Mahagathbandhan umbrella, playing a significant role in constituencies where anti-NDA votes are likely to consolidate.
Dipankar Bhattacharya’s focus is expected to be on issues of unemployment, inflation, and social justice. His speeches in Arrah and nearby districts are likely to highlight local grievances and demand greater accountability from both the central and state governments.
Bihar Election Campaign Reaches High Voltage Phase
With Prime Minister Modi’s rallies in Samastipur and Begusarai, Amit Shah’s meetings in Buxar and Siwan, and Tejashwi Yadav’s multi-district roadshows, the political campaign in Bihar has entered its most dynamic phase. Every party is working to attract the attention of undecided voters as the election dates draw closer.
The BJP-led NDA is banking on the Modi government’s welfare schemes, infrastructure projects, and its commitment to development. The Mahagathbandhan, on the other hand, is emphasizing local issues, unemployment, and rising prices, attempting to connect emotionally with the common people.
Public Response and Security Arrangements
In all major rally venues, extensive security arrangements have been made. Thousands of police personnel have been deployed to ensure smooth traffic movement and crowd management. Drone cameras are also being used to monitor the gatherings. Early reports from Samastipur and Begusarai suggest a massive turnout, with supporters reaching the venues since early morning.
Party workers have decorated the roads leading to the rally grounds with banners and posters. The enthusiasm among BJP and NDA supporters indicates a strong start to their campaign. Similarly, in areas where Tejashwi Yadav is holding rallies, large crowds have gathered, showing that the Mahagathbandhan is also drawing significant public attention.
Key Election Themes Emerge
As campaigning intensifies, certain key issues are beginning to dominate Bihar’s political narrative. Development, employment opportunities, and social justice are at the center of the debate. The ruling alliance is highlighting its welfare programs like housing, electricity, and road connectivity, while the opposition is focusing on youth unemployment and migration.
The Chhath festival, which holds immense cultural importance in Bihar, is also shaping campaign narratives. Leaders across parties are trying to connect emotionally with the people through religious and cultural references. Prime Minister Modi’s message on Chhath songs has struck a chord with traditional voters, adding a personal touch to his outreach.
What Lies Ahead
In the coming days, Bihar is expected to witness an even more intense political contest. Modi and Shah’s continued tours, combined with Tejashwi’s expanding rallies, will dominate the headlines. The Election Commission is likely to announce the final phase of the campaign schedule soon.
Analysts believe that Bihar’s political battle this time will be determined by the youth vote, rural turnout, and the coalition strategies of major alliances. As the election draws nearer, the focus will shift from leadership rallies to booth-level mobilization, where each party’s organizational strength will be tested.
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 have officially entered their most crucial stage. With top national leaders from both the NDA and Mahagathbandhan addressing massive rallies, the state’s political scene is charged with energy and anticipation. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Samastipur and Begusarai, Amit Shah’s aggressive campaign trail, and Tejashwi Yadav’s statewide outreach mark the beginning of a high-stakes electoral battle.
