Bihar’s electoral fate is being decided today as vote counting commenced for all 243 assembly seats. Simultaneously, results for eight assembly bypolls across six states and Jammu and Kashmir are also being declared. This marks the first Bihar assembly election in twenty years following a thorough revision of voter lists, with final outcomes anticipated by evening.

The Department of Fertilizers, working closely with the Department of Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare, launched a major campaign.

A fierce poster war erupted in Bihar on counting day, with RJD and JDU trading sharp jibes as early trends set the tone.
