నితీష్ కుమార్ ను నిలబెట్టిన మహిళా ఓటర్లు || Women voters help Nitish Kumar relevant ||

Bihar’s women voters helped JDU chief Nitish Kumar stave off several adverse factors, including LJP president Chirag Paswan’s attack on the chief minister.

The 43 seats that JDU won would not have been possible without the support of women voters, who turned out in larger numbers than men. Women turnout was recorded at 59.69%, while male turnout was 54.68%.

The increase in women voters since 2010 has worked to Kumar's advantage. Kumar’s decisions on prohibition, reservation in local bodies’ elections, and government jobs have ensured that women overlooked other incumbency factors.

JDU leaders are of the opinion that Kumar must be credited for carving out a women voters' bloc overriding the state's caste factor.
