NEW DELHI: And the winner is ... Well, if it's Bihar, who else but Nitish Kumar . The JD(U) chief, who was contesting the 2025 assembly elections with his back to the wall, has fought against all odds to prove yet again that he is the undisputed leader of Bihar. Nitish Kumar's JD(U), which had managed only 43 assembly seats five years back, has made massive gains nearly doubling his tally. The JD(U) this time around has won 85 seats to emerge as the second largest party in the state. A poster featuring Nitish standing besides a tiger, captioned boldly 'tiger abhi zinda hai' (tiger is alive), sums up the amazing turnaround achieved by the septuagenarian leader - who was left to fend for himself amid unrelenting onslaught by the opposition.
