RJD led with 23% of the vote, which is more than 1.15 crore votes. BJP followed with 20.08% and over 1 crore votes. JDU came next with 19.25%, receiving nearly 96.67 lakh votes. Congress received 8.71% of the vote, crossing 43 lakh votes.

Independents got 5.01%, which means over 25 lakh votes. LJP-R secured 4.97% with nearly 25 lakh votes. Jansuraj gained 3.34% votes. CPI(M) had a 2.84% vote share, but exact vote numbers were not released. AIMIM received 1.85% votes, while BSP got 1.62%.

Some details are still missing. CPI’s vote share in nine seats is not available. The total number of independent candidates is also not released. The Election Commission will publish a full report later.

These numbers show strong competition among major parties and highlight shifts in Bihar’s political mood.

RJD contested 143 seats, the highest among all parties. Contesting more seats helped it collect more votes, but many candidates lost. These losing votes also added to the total vote share but did not turn into victories.

BJP and JDU contested fewer seats. They focused on selected seats and converted their votes into wins. This strategy helped NDA cross 200 seats.

LJP (Ram Vilas) and RLM stayed with the NDA this time. Their support helped NDA avoid vote splits, which had earlier damaged it in 2020.

In direct contests, JDU defeated RJD in most seats. BJP also performed strongly and won 89 seats. New players like Jan Suraj affected vote margins in many areas. AIMIM kept its hold in Seemanchal.

RJD still has strong support, but its votes did not convert into seats. It remained popular but failed to reach the finishing line in many constituencies.

AAP, however, struggled to connect with voters. It failed to win even one seat. The party managed only 0.30% of the total votes. This number is far lower than NOTA, which secured 1.81%, and the BSP, which got 1.62%. These figures show that AAP could not build trust among Bihar’s voters.

Most of the campaign work depended on local candidates. Top national leaders did not spend much time in Bihar, and the party lacked a strong grassroots presence. Many voters felt disconnected from the party’s message.

The results show that AAP needs a clearer plan and stronger visibility before it can grow in Bihar. With such a small vote share, the party must rethink its strategy if it wants to make a mark in future elections.

BJP secured eight MP seats after aggressive campaigning and strong mobilisation. It later won two MLC seats, but critics allege political deals with BRS. The party’s vote share dropped significantly in the Jubilee Hills by-election. BJP could not retain its earlier vote count of 25,000 and secured only 17,000 votes. Political analysts said this result exposed weak strategy and poor candidate planning.

The Telangana BJP is also facing internal divisions. Leaders are reportedly split into different groups with no strong coordinator. Conflicts between MPs, MLAs and central observers continue. Lack of unity is affecting public confidence. Analysts also say BJP national leaders are not prioritising Telangana despite potential growth in the state.

The delay in appointing a full-time state president also created dissatisfaction in the party. Cadre expressed disappointment after appointing Rancheander Rao, stating that he lacks mass following and public appeal. Concerns are growing that BJP may face more setbacks if leadership issues continue.

Chief Minister Revanth Reddy played a key role for Congress. He actively campaigned with roadshows, bike rallies, and ground-level coordination, reversing BRS’s early advantage. Political analysts say his strategies helped sway voters and reduced BRS’s opportunities.

The bypoll saw intense competition among Congress, BRS, and BJP. Campaigning in the last three days turned highly aggressive. Political observers believe the results could influence Telangana’s future political landscape. BJP votes reportedly shifted towards BRS, yet Congress maintained a strong edge according to exit polls.

While exit polls favor Congress, the final result will be declared on November 14. BRS leaders continue to analyze strategies and voter behavior. The race highlights how local leadership, campaign intensity, and voter sentiment can dramatically alter election outcomes. Political enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting official counting to see who truly wins Jubilee Hills.

Despite its strong presence in Hyderabad during the 2019 GHMC elections and Kishan Reddy’s two Lok Sabha wins, the BJP’s local momentum seems to have weakened. Sources reveal that leaders are working hard to cross the 17% vote mark needed to save their deposit. Union Ministers Kishan Reddy and Bandi Sanjay have been actively campaigning to revive the party’s image in Jubilee Hills.

Political observers believe that if the BJP candidate, Deepak Reddy—considered close to Union Minister Kishan Reddy—fails to retain his deposit again, it could trigger internal criticism. Some leaders argue that giving the ticket to a BC community candidate might have strengthened the fight. Ignoring such advice, Kishan Reddy is now personally leading the campaign.

To secure at least 20% of the votes, party leaders are reportedly planning strategic poll management in select areas. Their current goal is not just to perform better but to avoid another embarrassment of losing the deposit in this high-stakes contest.
