Nitish Kumar's Credibility and Focus on 'Vikas' Strengthen His Mandate, Says Senior Journalist

Bihar Election Results 2025 LIVE Updates: Senior journalist Prabhu Chawla told NDTV that Nitish Kumar, returning as Bihar's Chief Minister, will now have the freedom to fully shape his agenda and leave behind a legacy as a "Vikas Purush." Chawla noted that Nitish's electoral recovery-from 43 seats to 80-demonstrates strong credibility on the ground. He said Nitish is likely to continue focusing on development with full support from the central government, while the BJP currently lacks a strong face in the state.
