Bihar Election 2025: How BJP-JDU Secured Historic Victory Through Unprecedented Caste Matrix Shift

Nov 14, 2025 05:18 pm CST

The 2025 Bihar election witnessed a decisive victory for the BJP-JDU alliance, securing over 160 seats more than the opposition. This landmark win was powered by an unprecedented shift in traditional voting patterns, particularly among Extremely Backward Castes, Other Backward Castes, and remarkably, the Muslim-Yadav combination that traditionally supported opposition parties. Exit polls had predicted strong NDA performance among backward communities, but the actual results showed even greater support across all key demographic segments, fundamentally altering Bihar's political landscape.
