Bihar Assembly Results 2025: Congress's blow - Election Commission and 'SIR' responsible, controversy over Gyanes Kumar
Patna, November 14, 2025 (Lokmat Representative): The results of the Bihar Assembly elections have raised the temperature in the political atmosphere. The results have come as a shock to the Grand Alliance (alliance of Congress and its allies), and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is moving towards coming to power again. According to the preliminary vote counting data, the Grand Alliance has suffered a major setback, while the Congress party has expressed anger, placing the responsibility for this result on the Election Commission and 'SIR'. Party spokesperson Pawan Kheda has directly attacked Chief Election Commissioner Gyanes Kumar, saying that this election is 'a battle of the people of Bihar against Gyanes Kumar'.
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 have become a significant event in the political history of the state. In the campaign that has been going on for the past few months, political parties have been making accusations against each other on various issues. While the grand alliance had focused on issues like caste equations, economic development and social justice, the NDA tried to attract voters by mentioning development works, infrastructure and central schemes. However, the picture is becoming clear since the counting of votes began. In the counting of votes that began at 9 am, the NDA has gained a lead in many seats, which has given a big blow to the grand alliance leader Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal (Secular) and Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). The Congress has also won fewer seats than expected, which has created a stir within the party. Against this backdrop, the Congress party has raised questions about the election process itself. In an interview with ANI, the party's national spokesperson Pawan Kheda put the direct responsibility on the Election Commission and 'SIR'. Kheda said, "This election has now become a direct fight between Gyanes Kumar and the people of Bihar. Gyanes Kumar is ahead of the people of Bihar in this fight." He added, "These are preliminary results. We will wait for a while. Gyanes Kumar is ahead of the people of Bihar. I do not underestimate the capabilities of the people of Bihar; they have fought through obstacles like SIR and vote rigging. This is a direct battle between the people of Bihar and the Election Commission of India. Now let's see who wins." This statement has made the Congress's anger clear, and the party has raised serious questions about the role of the Election Commission.
There are many arguments in political circles about what the word 'SIR' stands for. According to Congress leaders, this word indicates irregularities and external interference during the election process. The Congress had already registered complaints on issues like vote rigging, technical glitches in EVM machines and errors in the voter list. Kheda's statement mentions 'SIR' for such obstacles, which raises doubts about the impartiality of the Election Commission. The party has claimed that the people of Bihar voted despite overcoming all these obstacles, but the results did not come as expected. The Congress has blamed the Election Commission for this, holding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar directly responsible.
The Bihar election results will not only have an impact on state politics, but will also have a national impact. The Nitish Kumar-led NDA remained in power in the 2020 elections, and now the same trend is being experienced in 2025 as well. The grand alliance had emphasized on the alliance of RJD and Congress during the campaign, but according to preliminary estimates, they have been limited to 70-80 seats, while the NDA is likely to get more than 180 seats. The Congress had kept its expectations low about its own seats, but the results have still shocked the party. Reliable sources have informed that senior party leaders will now hold a meeting in Delhi to decide on the next strategy.
On the other hand, the BJP and the NDA are responding to these allegations. BJP leaders have dismissed the Congress allegations as 'defeatist cries of those who are not ready to accept the results'. A senior BJP leader said, "The Election Commission is an autonomous body and there has been no interference in its functioning. The defeat of the grand alliance was due to their wrong policies, not the commission." However, the Congress has rejected this response and says that the fight will continue to protect the people's vote.
The political atmosphere in Bihar has become even more heated due to this controversy. Although the counting of votes is not yet complete, the developments leading up to the results have sparked discussions among leaders of various parties. With a national party like Congress raising questions about the election process, this issue will be important for the upcoming elections as well. Especially, when there is a continuous discussion on the transparency of EVMs and the voting process, this attack by the Congress can have a national impact.
The people of Bihar have shown their strength by participating in this election. The strength of democracy was seen with more than 65 percent voting, but this controversy after the results is expressing disappointment. Everyone is watching what steps the Congress will take now. The party has already filed a complaint with the Election Commission and has also warned of going to court if necessary. Overall, the Bihar results have added new colours to the political scene, and the next
