Patna turned into a visual spectacle on Friday as dramatic posters glorifying Chief Minister Nitish Kumar appeared outside his residence, just as the NDA surged to a commanding lead in the Bihar Assembly Election trends. With the ruling alliance ahead on 195 seats and JD(U) leading on 44, party workers began early celebrations—but it was one poster that captured all the attention.
Dominating the scene was a striking, cinema-style banner featuring Nitish Kumar standing tall beside a roaring tiger, stamped boldly with the slogan “Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai.” The artwork, designed to project raw authority and political resilience, instantly became the day’s biggest talking point across Patna.
“Sirf trends aaye hain, par message clear hai… Nitish ji politics ka asli tiger hain. Tiger abhi zinda hai,” a JD(U) worker said proudly to cameras while posing next to the giant poster. The line quickly went viral on social media, symbolising what supporters say is Nitish Kumar’s unwavering hold over Bihar’s political landscape.
Vehicles slowed down to snap photos, residents stepped out to witness the buzz firsthand, and party workers turned the area into an impromptu celebration zone—long before results were official.
