Bihar Polls: Ajit Pawar’s NCP Faces Humiliating Defeat, 13 of 15 Candidates Lose Deposits
Mumbai: In the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Ajit Pawar’s Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) suffered a severe setback after contesting separately from the NDA. Out of 15 candidates fielded by the NCP, 13 lost their deposits, reflecting the party’s dismal performance in the state. Overall, the party managed to secure only around 0.02% of the votes, making it difficult for NCP to retain its national party status.
Several NCP candidates failed to even cross the 1,000-vote mark. For instance, Ashutosh Singh in Sasaram received only 212 votes, while NOTA secured 369 votes. Jay Prakash in Nautan managed just 186 votes, Saif Ali Khan in Manihari received 2,057 votes, Bipin Singh in Parsa got 435 votes, Akhilesh Thakur in Mahua polled 643 votes, and Anil Singh in Raghopur managed 602 votes.
