Which Indian bowler took 5/27 on Day 1 of the first Test against South Africa in Kolkata?
Jasprit BumrahJasprit Bumrah delivered an exceptional bowling performance on Day 1 of the first Test match against South Africa in Kolkata, taking 5 wickets for just 27 runs. His incisive spell was instrumental in India’s bold decision to field four spinners, which paid off as South Africa collapsed from a promising 57-run opening stand to 159 all out. Bumrah’s precision, combined with support from Mohammed Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, and Axar Patel, exploited the variable bounce and spin of the pitch effectively. His figures were the best among the Indian bowlers and marked another milestone in his already stellar Test career. The match was being watched by a crowd of 36,000, underscoring Bumrah’s role as a fan favorite and national asset.

Which political alliance secured a decisive victory in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections?
NDAThe National Democratic Alliance (NDA), comprising the BJP and JD(U) along with smaller allies like LJP(Ram Vilas), HAM(S), and RLM, won a decisive majority in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections. The alliance secured 202 out of 243 seats, reflecting a major shift from the traditional Muslim-Yadav (MY) voter base to a new 'Mahila-Youth' (MY) coalition. The BJP and JD(U) contested an equal 101 seats each, a rare parity that minimized internal friction. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s credibility and governance record, along with PM Modi’s national appeal, were key to the victory. The opposition RJD, despite a higher vote share, failed to convert votes into seats, signaling a realignment in Bihar’s political landscape.

What was the vote share of the RJD in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections despite its poor seat performance?
22.84 per centDespite being routed in terms of seat wins, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) managed to secure 22.84 per cent of the total vote share in the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections—higher than both the BJP and JD(U) individually. This paradox highlights the inefficiency of the RJD’s vote-to-seat conversion, likely due to strategic seat-sharing by the NDA and a fragmented opposition. Tejashwi Yadav retained his Raghopur seat, but the RJD lost strongholds like Siwan, where Speaker Awadh Bihari Chaudhary was defeated. The results indicate voter disillusionment with the RJD’s campaign and governance alternatives. The outcome underscores that in India’s first-past-the-post system, vote share alone does not guarantee electoral success.

Which political party failed to win any seat in its debut electoral contest in Bihar 2025?
Jan Suraaj PartyPrashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), launched with much fanfare after a statewide 'pada yatra', contested all 243 seats in the 2025 Bihar elections but failed to win even a single seat. In fact, the majority of its candidates forfeited their security deposits, and in several constituencies, the party received fewer votes than the NOTA (None of the Above) option. Despite raising critical issues like unemployment, industrial stagnation, and migration, the JSP could not galvanize voter support. Kishor had predicted a binary outcome—either top or bottom—but the electorate rejected his 'third front' narrative entirely. The result marks a significant setback for Kishor, once a celebrated poll strategist, now struggling to transition into a mass leader.
