The counting of votes for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 is currently underway, and the final winners are yet to be decided. Very soon, Bihar will know who its next MLAs will be, the representatives who will speak for their constituencies and take important decisions for development, welfare, and growth. Once elected, each MLA carries the responsibility of understanding the needs of their region, addressing local issues, and ensuring that meaningful work is done for the people who trusted them with their vote.
