2000 Bihar Legislative Assembly election
The 2000 Bihar Legislative Assembly election was held in October 2000 to elect members of the 14th Legislative Assembly of Bihar, India. The election was conducted in a single phase on October 3, 2000, against a backdrop of political instability and frequent changes in governance in the state. The primary contest was between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), led by then-incumbent Chief Minister Rabri Devi, and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which formed an alliance with the Janata Dal (United) and other regional parties. The results culminated in a significant victory for the RJD, securing 75 seats out of 243, while the BJP-JD(U) alliance won 52 seats. The election was characterized by intense campaigning, communal tensions, and issues of caste dynamics, shaping the political landscape of Bihar in the early 21st century.
