Patna: In a high-voltage pre-election pitch, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Friday released its joint ‘Sankalp Patra’ (manifesto) for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, promising massive investments, job creation, and welfare schemes to transform the state.
The document was jointly unveiled in Patna by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, BJP National President JP Nadda, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, and other NDA leaders — signaling a united front ahead of the high-stakes polls.
🔹 NDA’s Pitch: “Modi’s Guarantee, Nitish’s Trust”
BJP Bihar President Dilip Jaiswal described the manifesto as the “guarantee of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the trust of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.” Taking aim at the opposition, he alleged that “Bihar’s people will never forgive Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav for their misrule.”

7️⃣ Flood-Free Bihar Vision
In a state long plagued by floods, the NDA vowed to make Bihar “flood-free in five years” under a “Flood to Fortune Model” through better embankments, canals, and water management.
🔹 Electoral Arithmetic
Elections for Bihar’s 243 Assembly seats will be held in two phases — November 6 and 11, with results on November 14.
Under the seat-sharing deal: BJP and JDU will contest 101 seats each, LJP (Ram Vilas) 29 seats, and HAM and RLD 6 each.
With a mix of populism, infrastructure promise, and Modi-Nitish chemistry, the NDA’s manifesto sets the tone for a fierce electoral battle in Bihar.
