NDA targets Bihar’s migrant voters for election support

The Bihar Assembly elections are set for November 2025, and political parties are gearing up for a tough campaign. The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is targeting to win more than 200 out of 243 seats. They face strong competition from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj. One strategy the NDA is using involves connecting with Biharis living outside the state. Many of these migrants influence their families in Bihar, even if they cannot vote in person. Union Minister Satish Chandra Dubey emphasized the importance of this group, noting their opinions can shape the election's outcome. To engage with this migrant population, the NDA is hosting celebrations called Bihar Diwas at 75 locations across various states between March 22 and 30. Dubey highlighted that these events aim to showcase the development in Bihar and encourage support for the NDA. Political analysts believe that every vote will matter in this upcoming election, especially as new dynamics emerge. The NDA is also reaffirming its strong alliance with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's party, JD(U). As the election approaches, both local and migrant voters are essential to each party's strategy.
