Mahagathbandhan Set to Form Government in Bihar, Says Congress Chief
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge has made a significant declaration about the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, expressing absolute confidence in the opposition alliance's victory. Speaking on Monday, November 10, 2025, Kharge stated that the Mahagathbandhan government is certain to come to power in Bihar and will implement its promised guarantees once elected.
Liberation from Two Decades of 'Helpless Governance'
The Congress leader delivered a strong critique of the current administration, asserting that the Mahagathbandhan government will liberate Bihar from 20 years of what he termed 'helpless governance'. This sharp criticism targets the long-standing political leadership in the state, suggesting a comprehensive overhaul of the existing system.
Kharge's statement comes as political parties begin positioning themselves for the crucial 2025 state elections. The Mahagathbandhan, or Grand Alliance, represents a coalition of opposition parties aiming to challenge the incumbent government. The Congress president's confident prediction indicates the opposition's preparedness and strategic planning for the electoral battle ahead.
Implementation of Guarantees Promised
The Congress leader emphasized that the alliance has concrete plans for the state's development. The Mahagathbandhan is committed to implementing specific guarantees that address the needs and aspirations of Bihar's citizens, though specific details of these guarantees were not elaborated in the announcement.
Political observers note that such early declarations signal the opposition's attempt to build momentum and create a narrative of inevitable change. The reference to 20 years of governance directly challenges the current political establishment and appeals to voters seeking alternative leadership.
As Bihar prepares for the 2025 assembly elections, Kharge's statement sets the stage for what promises to be a highly contested political battle. The certainty expressed by the Congress president demonstrates the opposition's confidence in their electoral strategy and their assessment of the public mood in the state.
