Bihar Assembly Elections Announced in Two Phases: BSP Chief Mayawati Confirms Party Will Contest Alone
Bihar Elections: Mayawati’s Big Announcement, BSP Will Contest On All Seats: The Election Commission of India has officially announced the dates for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, setting the stage for a high-stakes political battle. The elections will be held in two phases — Phase 1 on Thursday, November 6, and Phase 2 on Tuesday, November 11. The counting of votes and declaration of results will take place on Friday, November 14.
The announcement was met with swift reactions from political leaders across the spectrum. Among the first to respond was Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) supremo Mayawati, who welcomed the Commission’s move and reiterated her party’s commitment to contest the elections independently.
Mayawati: “BSP to Contest Almost All Seats Alone”
In a tweet posted shortly after the announcement, former Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati wrote:
“Welcome today’s announcement by the Election Commission of India that the much-awaited Bihar State Assembly General Elections will be held in two phases on November 6th and 11th.”
“In the larger public and national interest and to strengthen democracy in the country, the Election Commission will ensure that the voting system is truly free, fair and free from the influence of money and force in accordance with the will of the people. The Commission will take strict and effective steps to prevent misuse of police and government machinery.”
“The Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) will contest almost all the seats alone in the Bihar Assembly elections. Party members at all levels are actively preparing for these elections.”Advertisement
Call for Peaceful Participation
Mayawati also made a special appeal to the people of Bihar to take part enthusiastically and peacefully in the democratic process:
“BSP makes a special appeal to the people of Bihar to participate enthusiastically in this festival of democracy peacefully, exercising the most important constitutional right given to every citizen by Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar.”
BSP Prepares for Solo Battle
This declaration confirms that the BSP will go solo in the Bihar Assembly polls, contesting nearly all seats without forming any pre-poll alliance. Party workers and leaders are reportedly actively mobilizing resources and finalizing candidate lists, signaling a serious effort to expand the party’s presence in Bihar.
Election Watch: What’s Next?
With just weeks to go before the first phase of voting, political temperatures are expected to rise in Bihar. Parties are likely to intensify their campaigns, finalize seat-sharing strategies (where applicable), and announce candidate lists soon.
The 2025 Bihar Assembly elections are poised to be a crucial test for regional and national parties alike, as the state prepares to choose its new leadership.
