    NDA Dominates Gaya: Coalition Secures 8 Out of 10 Seats in Key Bihar Battle

    Gaya, November 14, 2025 — The NDA registered a sweeping victory in the Gaya region, winning 8 out of 10 assembly seats and leaving the Mahagathbandhan far behind in the political contest. High voter turnout and strong booth-level mobilisation helped the NDA secure a commanding lead early in the counting, with several constituencies showing clear margins in favour of BJP and JD(U) candidates. The results underline the coalition’s continued influence in this politically crucial district.

    Local factors, welfare schemes, and caste alignments played a crucial role, analysts say, contributing to the NDA’s decisive edge. With the Mahagathbandhan managing wins in only two pockets, the Gaya mandate reflects a strong endorsement of the NDA’s development agenda and leadership at both the state and central levels. The victory is expected to boost the NDA’s overall performance as counting continues across Bihar.

  • India’s Wholesale Inflation Remains Negative for Fourth Consecutive Month

    India’s Wholesale Inflation Remains Negative for Fourth Consecutive Month

    New Delhi, November 14, 2025 — India’s Wholesale Price Index (WPI)-based inflation stayed in the negative zone for the fourth straight month, signalling continued cooling in input costs across major sectors. The decline is primarily driven by softer prices of fuel, power, manufactured goods, and certain primary commodities, offering relief to industries dependent on raw materials. Economists say the persistent negative WPI reflects improving supply conditions and easing global commodity pressures.

    Despite the negative wholesale inflation, experts caution that the gap between WPI and CPI must be watched closely, as retail inflation remains comparatively firm. Policymakers are assessing whether this trend will support future rate decisions and boost industrial recovery. With global uncertainties still looming, India’s wholesale inflation trajectory will remain an important indicator for growth and pricing stability in the coming months.

    Patna, November 14, 2025 — As counting continues in the Bihar Assembly elections, the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is seeing a strong surge across many constituencies, while the opposition Mahagathbandhan is struggling to keep pace.
