Ahead of the upcoming assembly elections, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar released a video message to the citizens of Bihar on Saturday, November 1, 2025, emphasizing his dedication to public service. In the video, Kumar stated that he has served the people of Bihar with honesty and hard work since he was first elected in 2005 and that he didn't work for his family.

Kumar's message arrives amidst a flurry of political activity in Bihar, with various parties and leaders vying for the support of the electorate. The political landscape includes figures like Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, who recently addressed questions surrounding his educational qualifications, stating that he has made all information public and available in his affidavit.

Prashant Kishor, a political strategist, has also been active in the lead-up to the elections, making statements about the potential for a triangular fight in 160-170 seats and asserting that he will not form any alliances before or after the polls. Kishor has also expressed his view that the public is tired of both alliances in Bihar.

The Bihar elections have seen the lowest number of women candidates in 15 years. Other political figures like Manoj Tiwari have also been involved in the election campaigning.

The election is being heavily discussed and analyzed, with NDTV hosting a "Bihar Power Play" conclave to discuss the various aspects of the election.
