2014 Indian general election in Bihar
The 2014 Indian general election in Bihar was a significant political event, held as part of the 16th Lok Sabha elections from April 7 to May 12, 2014. Bihar, a state in eastern India, played a crucial role in determining the political landscape, with its 40 parliamentary constituencies contributing to the formation of the national government. The election saw a coalition of parties, including the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies, competing against the incumbent Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) under Lalu Prasad Yadav. The election results revealed a significant shift towards the BJP, leading to the party winning 22 seats, marking a major ideological and electoral transformation in the state.
