Coalition government won in Bihar elections

People have voiced their opinion wisely, refused to be divided on religion. It a real victory of the well-informed people, For the fifth time Nitish Kumar has won in Bihar elections. People have given their verdict, he is bringing Bihar forward in all fields: in development,in agriculture, in industry, in education,in building infrastructure and so on so forth.It is a big blow to the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) and Congress Party. Bihar has shown the way--how to avert the bullies by coalition. In ten years, BJP has not fared so poorly as now.
The following is an article from newspaper
The Times of India
Title : ONE-WAYWIN - Nitish Gets Bihar, Modi A Message Article Date : 11/09/2015 Victors took early lead in multi-phase poll As is to be expected in an election in which one side won well over two thirds of the seats, the winning side's dominance was more or less across the state. In each of the five phases of the month-long election, the Mahagathbandhan picked up more seats and votes than the BJP-led alliance. However, this is not to say that the extent of the dominance was uniform across the state. The closest the NDA came to challenging the grand alliance was in the fourth phase of the elections, held in the north-western part of the state. Here, the NDA's seat tally was 21 against the grand alliance's 30 seats. What's more the gap in the vote shares of the two major alliances was barely 1.9%, the Mahagathbandhan garnering 38.5% to the NDA's 36.6%. While that looks good in the context of what happened in the rest of the state, it is a far cry from the 53 out of 55 seats that the NDA had led in during the Lok Sabha elections. At the other end of the spectrum in terms of the gap between the two fronts was the fifth phase held in the northeastern parts of the state. Here, the Mahagathbandhan won 45 seats against the NDA's 11. Even more impressive is the gap in vote shares -43% against 31.9%. Impressive as this lead of over ten percentage points is, it was actually a significant narrowing from what prevailed in 2014. In the Lok Sabha elections, the combined tally ofJD(U), RJD and Congress in these 57 seats was nearly 20 percentage points higher than the NDA's tally .That gap has now been roughly halved. What is interesting also is that in each phase, despite the contest being seen as largely bipolar and an intensely fought one at that, smaller parties and independents notched up about a fifth to a quarter of the total votes polled. For BJP, a fact it can draw solace from is that it nearly remained the largest party in terms of vote share in each of the five phases. In the fourth phase, the strongest for the party and its alliance, its vote share of 30.2% was more than 10 percentage points higher than the next party's, which was RJD at 19.4%
