The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), contesting 101 seats in Bihar, has no candidates in six districts — Madhepura, Khagaria, Sheikhpura, Shivhar, Jehanabad, and Rohtas. The party contests only one seat each in Saharsa, Lakhisarai, Nalanda, Buxar, Jamui, and Nalanda. In contrast, BJP has the highest presence in West Champaran, fielding eight candidates in 12 seats.
In East Champaran, BJP contests seven of nine seats, showing the Champaran region’s importance for its campaign. Meanwhile, BJP has seven candidates in Patna district and maintains a strong base in Darbhanga, Muzaffarpur, Bhojpur, and Madhubani.
Compared to 2020, when BJP contested 110 seats, the party’s reach has reduced slightly, with Rohtas newly added to its no-contest list. The NDA seat-sharing sees JDU and BJP fielding 101 candidates each, LJP (R) 29, and HAM and RLM six each.
This election shows BJP’s focus on key regions while relying on allies in others.
