A detailed electoral analysis by Ascendia Strategies shows that despite suffering a major defeat in Bihar elections with the NDA winning 202 out of 243 seats, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has maintained its core Muslim-Yadav support base. While these communities contributed 23% to the Mahagathbandhan's 38% vote share, the NDA's victory was driven primarily by upper castes, non-Yadav OBCs, and strong EBC-SC-ST support, highlighting Bihar's complex caste-based voting patterns.
