4. The Biggest Winners and Losers

Biggest Winners:

• BJP: The party gained power in Bihar and the NDA alliance as it had 89 seats.
  
• Chirag Paswan (LJP, Ram Vilas): His party translated its support into 19 seats, a huge achievement of a smaller NDA constituent.
  

Biggest Losers:

• RJD and Tejashwi Yadav: The RJD led by Tejashwi did not mobilize the electorate and got much less votes than was predicted.
  
• Congress: Theirs failed; they were fighting many seats but not doing well.
  
• Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party: The new party did not make a significant hit and received very little or no seats.
  

5. Key Structural and Political Takeaways

• The seat sharing approach of NDA was decisive. The alliance had a good spread of constituencies between BJP, JD(U) and smaller parties - without internal wrangles and optimizing success.
  
• The mobilization of women voters, and particularly, the welfare schemes made by the NDA was a game changer.
  
• The leadership of Nitish Kumar was not by chance: even with rumors of exhaustion, the leadership record and political experience made a difference with the voters.
  
• The disintegration of the opposition and the poor story were revealed: without unity it became easier to have NDA to prevail.
