Bihar Election Results: 'Congress Drops Hydrogen Bomb On RJD', Arnab Slams Congress

As counting progresses for the 2025 Bihar assembly elections, the NDA—led by Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) and the BJP—is racing past the majority mark with over 150 projected seats, positioning Kumar for a fifth term. Strong urban and OBC backing, coupled with a record 67% turnout, has fuelled the alliance’s dominance.

Meanwhile, Congress’s bold pre-poll “hydrogen bomb” claim—Rahul Gandhi’s promise of exposing alleged BJP-led “vote chori”—has dramatically misfired. With the party leading in only 10–16 seats and the RJD struggling at 37–49 despite Tejashwi Yadav’s lead in Raghopur, the rhetoric has caused discomfort within the Mahagathbandhan, failing to resonate against core issues like unemployment.

On his Republic TV debate, Arnab Goswami launched a fierce critique of Congress, calling its fraud accusations a “desperate hoax” undermining democratic trust. He mocked the party’s poor numbers as “karma for spinning conspiracy theories,” reinforcing the NDA’s sweeping narrative and intensifying fractures within the opposition.
