INDIA Bloc Poised for Victory in Bihar, Says Akhilesh Yadav

Raipur, November 9, 2025 – Samajwadi Party (SP) president Akhilesh Yadav today predicted a victory for the INDIA bloc in the ongoing Bihar Assembly elections, citing a palpable “wind of change” and strong public support for Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav.

Speaking to reporters during a stopover in Raipur en route to Odisha, Yadav emphasized the momentum behind Tejashwi Yadav, who celebrated his 36th birthday today. “Bihar, along with bringing change, is going to elect a young chief minister. Bihar is going to get a new chief minister, a young chief minister with new energy,” Yadav stated. “Today is the last day of campaigning (in Bihar). He has the support of the people.”

Yadav further asserted that the anticipated victory in Bihar would strengthen the INDIA bloc’s position nationally.

He also addressed concerns regarding infiltration raised by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, accusing the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of prioritizing “bribes” (ghoos) over addressing “infiltrators” (ghuspaithiye). “The BJP has been in power for over 11 years. If infiltrators have entered the country during this period, who is responsible? The BJP itself,” Yadav retorted.

Referencing the BJP’s recent loss in the Faizabad Lok Sabha seat, encompassing Ayodhya, Yadav declared that the people of Uttar Pradesh had already rejected the BJP’s divisive politics. He accused the BJP of discriminating against backward classes, Dalits, tribals, and minorities, leading to their unified opposition.

Looking ahead, Yadav outlined the Samajwadi Party’s ambitions to become a national party. He noted his visit to Odisha to campaign for the Nuapada by-election as part of a broader strategy to expand the party’s base beyond Uttar Pradesh. Voting for the final phase of the Bihar Assembly elections is scheduled for November 11, with results expected on November 14. The Nuapada bypoll in Odisha will also take place on November 11.
