In the recent Bihar Assembly elections, a surge of female participation proved decisive in securing a strong victory for Nitish Kumar’s NDA alliance. Women’s voting turnout—around 71%—far outpaced men’s, reflecting deep support for schemes such as the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana, which provided ₹10,000 to over a crore women. Combined with long-term policies like panchayat reservations and self-help groups (Jeevika), this “women-first” strategy consolidated a reliable vote base, tipping the electoral balance firmly in favor of Kumar.
