Bihar’s youngest MLA now comes from Alinagar. Singer Maithili Thakur, just 25 years old, has pulled off her first electoral win, finishing ahead of Rashtriya Janata Dal’s senior face Binod Mishra by a margin of 11,730 votes. It’s her debut election, and she’s walked away with 84,915 votes, a number that left even local BJP workers a little stunned.
The Jan Suraaj candidate barely made a mark here, finishing behind an Independent. It’s a reminder of how sharply voters chose between the bigger players this time.

When she first started leading, Maithili said the moment felt “like a dream”, adding that she sees her victory as a responsibility, not a celebration.

“This is like a dream. People have a lot of expectations of me… This will be my first term as an MLA, and I will do my best for my constituency… I will serve my people as their daughter… I can only see Alinagar right now and how I can work for them,” she told ANI.

The Election Commission released the full and final tally last night. The NDA has finished far ahead of the Mahagathbandhan, with the BJP and JD(U) alone sweeping 174 seats together.
Here’s the final count as confirmed by EC:
| Party | Won | Total |
|---|---|---|
| Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) | 89 | 89 |
| Janata Dal (United) – JD(U) | 85 | 85 |
| Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) | 25 | 25 |
| Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) – LJPRV | 19 | 19 |
| Indian National Congress (INC) | 6 | 6 |
| All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) | 5 | 5 |
| Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) – HAMS | 5 | 5 |
| Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RSHTLKM) | 4 | 4 |
| Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (Liberation) – CPI(ML)(L) | 2 | 2 |
| Indian Inclusive Party (IIP) | 1 | 1 |
| Communist Party of India (Marxist) – CPI(M) | 1 | 1 |
| Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) | 1 | 1 |
| Total | 243 | 243 |
What yesterday’s result really showed was a clear consolidation of votes in favour of the BJP-JD(U) combine. Welfare schemes for women, Nitish Kumar’s long-standing administrative image, Chirag Paswan’s bloc of young voters, everything clicked at the same time.
For the Mahagathbandhan, the story was the opposite: slipping strongholds, an unconvincing campaign, and no clear counter to the NDA’s “double-engine” pitch.
Jan Suraaj, expected by many to trouble a few seats, could not open its account.
