Bihar Elections: High Stakes and Allegations Amidst Moderate Voter Turnout
Over 3.75 crore voters are deciding the fate of 1,314 candidates in Bihar's first phase election across 121 seats with key leaders and new parties in the fray.
- On Thursday , voting opened across 121 constituencies in Bihar with 3.75 crore voters choosing among 1,314 candidates from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- The main contest is between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan, while Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj/Jan Swaraaj Party introduced a third angle and criticised both alliances for misgovernance.
- Prominent leaders are contesting this phase, including Tejashwi Yadav, Samrat Choudhary, and Tej Pratap Yadav, while celebrities like Maithili Thakur and Khesari Lal Yadav run amid 45,341 polling stations.
- This phase will be crucial for the Mahagathbandhan, which secured 110 seats in 2020, while violence in Mokama after Dular Chand Yadav's killing and Anant Singh's arrests heighten tensions.
- Close margins mean small shifts could swing results, as a 15-seat gap contrasts with about 11,150 vote difference among 7.24 crore voters including 10.72 lakh new electors.
