Another NDA ally, Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), also won 19 seats.
All eyes are now on how the NDA will form the government in Bihar and who will be its pick for minsiterial posts. On Saturday, leaders in the NDA said that the government formation in Bihar would take place in two or three days.
