As the nail biting match in Bihar came to an end after more than 15 hours of counting, NDA emerged as the winner of Bihar with a clear majority.
The NDA hit the majority mark of 122 at around 3 AM.
But the tables have been turned in this election as BJP won 74 seats to emerge as the senior member in its alliance with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JDU, which managed just 43.
The opposition, led by the RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, put up a strong fight but eventually fell short.
However, with 75 seats the RJD is the single-largest party.
The Congress, viewed by many as the reason for the opposition's failure to go all the way, contested 70 seats but won only 19.
Chirag Paswan's LJP, which left no stone unturned in attacking Nitish Kumar, won just one seat.
