Indian media focused overwhelmingly on the Bihar Assembly election results. Early trends indicated a significant lead for the NDA, suggesting Nitish Kumar's return as Chief Minister for the tenth time. Women voters were highlighted as a key factor in the NDA's success. The RJD, led by Tejashwi Yadav, faced its worst performance, though Tejashwi eventually won his Raghopur seat. Prime Minister Modi celebrated the "massive win" at BJP headquarters, crediting the "victory of good governance" and attacking the opposition, labeling Congress a "Muslim League Maoist party." In the late afternoon, a separate and significant development occurred with a blast at the Nowgam police station in Srinagar, injuring several people. This station was reportedly involved in investigating the Delhi terror module.
