The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has released its 2025 Bihar Assembly Election manifesto, promising massive job creation, ‘Mission Crorepati’ for women, and substantial financial aid for the Extremely Backward Classes.

October 31, 2025: The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Friday officially launched its manifesto, or ‘Sankalp Patra,’ for the forthcoming 2025 Bihar Assembly Elections.

The document, released at a ceremony in Patna attended by senior alliance leaders including Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, lays out an ambitious roadmap focused on economic upliftment, skilling, and targeted welfare schemes.

The manifesto’s central themes are an aggressive push for employment, and unprecedented financial empowerment for women and the Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs), positioning the alliance’s platform as one of ‘Guarantees and Trust.’

Key Promises from the NDA Manifesto at a Glance:

Focus Area	Key Promises	Details/Targets
Youth & Employment	1 Crore Jobs & Global Skilling	Pledges over 1 crore (10 million) government jobs and employment opportunities.
