Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday hailed the National Democratic Alliance’s (NDA’s) strong showing in the Bihar Assembly Elections, describing the mandate as the “victory of every Bihari who believes in a developed Bihar”. He said voters had decisively rejected “jungle raj” and appeasement politics in favour of performance-driven governance.

In a post on X, Shah said the results demonstrated the people’s growing trust in Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and underscored the shift towards accountability-based politics.
