NDA Launches Joint Drive Ahead of Bihar Polls
Alliance plans joint drive to dominate upcoming polls.
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is gearing up for a robust joint organizational drive in Bihar starting October 23, 2025, to strengthen coordination among its constituents and solidify its grip on power ahead of the October-November state assembly elections. The move comes as the opposition, led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, intensifies its campaign against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls, accusing it of “vote chori” in collusion with the BJP.
The NDA, comprising the BJP, JD(U), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), and Rashtriya Lok Morcha, has formed 14 committees, with BJP and JD(U) each leading seven. These committees, packed with heavyweights like BJP’s deputy chief ministers Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, Union ministers Giriraj Singh and Nityanand Rai, and JD(U)’s Sanjay Jha, Ram Nath Thakur, and state ministers, will oversee workers’ meetings across 83 locations covering Bihar’s 243 assembly seats. The campaign will unfold in two phases: August 23-25 and August 28-30, rallying workers from all NDA parties.
Each committee, with seven members including MPs and state ministers, aims to unite workers and craft a cohesive narrative to counter the RJD-Congress-Left alliance. The initiative seeks to avoid past missteps, like the 2020 polls when Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party split from the NDA, damaging JD(U)’s prospects. Paswan’s return to the NDA in January 2024 has mended ties, and the alliance is now focused on a unified front.

NDA leaders are confident that a massive public outreach program following these meetings will neutralize the opposition’s claims that the SIR undermines voting rights. With Rahul Gandhi’s campaign gaining traction, the NDA’s strategic push aims to galvanize its base and project strength, ensuring electoral rolls are finalized without fueling opposition narratives.
As Bihar braces for a high-stakes electoral battle, the NDA’s coordinated effort signals its determination to retain power and outmaneuver its rivals.
