Shah congratulated Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and all NDA leaders and workers for the alliance’s success. He also expressed gratitude to BJP workers “from the booth level to the state level” for their tireless efforts in delivering the result.
Assuring continued commitment, Shah said, “I assure the people of Bihar and especially our mothers and sisters that with the hope and trust with which you have given this mandate to the NDA, under the leadership of Modi ji, the NDA government will fulfil it with even greater dedication.”

Kushwaha tells Tejashwi: Change your ways or stay out of power
Rashtriya Lok Morcha chief Upendra Kushwaha criticised RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and the Opposition Mahagathbandhan, saying their approach and conduct had alienated voters in the Bihar Assembly elections. In a sharp message to Tejashwi, he said, “I want to tell Tejashwi Yadav that if he wants to come to power in the next 10 or 20 years, he will have to change his pattern. He and his people's behaviour will have to change.”
Kushwaha dismissed the Opposition’s claims regarding the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voter lists, asserting that the issue had little relevance. “SIR wasn't an issue at all. They should be aware of the ground reality,” he said, adding that the people of Bihar had already delivered their verdict. “The people of Bihar have rejected them, and they have created such a face in Bihar that they were bound to be rejected.”
He accused the RJD of trying to mislead voters. “By making statements that the public hates, the opposition, the RJD, wants to deceive the public. They cannot deceive the people of Bihar in that way,” Kushwaha said.
Contrasting this with the NDA’s governance, he added, “On one hand, our government is doing so much good work, and on the other hand, these people want to come to power by making baseless statements and inciting public sentiment. This is not possible.”
