BJP has been instrumental in the NDA retaining the chair in Bihar Assembly elections, amid the close-knit contest between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan. The BJP's performance led the coalition to cross the halfway mark and form government in the state. BJP's win on 74 seats was instrumental in overcoming the anti-incumbency effect of Nitish Kumar led JDU which managed to win 43 seats and with the HAM and VIP winning four seats each, the NDA managed to win 125 seats. On the other hand, the Mahagathbandhan managed to win 110 seats -- RJD's Tejashwi Yadav won 75 seats, Congress managed to win 19 seats and the Left parties combined managed to bag in 16 seats.
