Bihar 2025: A Crucial Test for India’s Election Commission
The upcoming Bihar Assembly Election 2025 is shaping up to be a critical moment for Indian democracy, not just for its political stakes but for what it signals about the Election Commission of India’s (ECI) neutrality and efficiency. As political alliances shift and campaigning intensifies, all eyes are on the ECI to ensure a free, fair, and transparent electoral process.
Past elections have seen allegations of bias, selective enforcement, and administrative lapses. In this high-stakes contest, the ECI must reaffirm public trust through consistent enforcement of the Model Code of Conduct, unbiased monitoring of campaign practices, and swift action against violations.
With Bihar being a politically volatile state, the integrity of the electoral process will serve as a litmus test for the ECI’s credibility. The outcome may influence public perception not only in Bihar but across India ahead of the 2026 general elections.
