Live Bihar Election Results: NDA Crosses 200-Mark

The Congress on Friday won only six of the 61 seats it contested in the Bihar Assembly elections.

The ruling NDA on Friday secured a three-fourth majority in the Bihar Assembly, winning 183 seats in the 243-member House so far, as per latest results available on the Election Commission website.

The Congress on Friday alleged that the election results in Bihar reflect "vote chori on a gigantic scale" with Rahul Gandhi vowing an in-depth review of the outcome and saying "we could not achieve victory in such an election that was not fair from the very beginning."

Gandhi also said the Congress and the INDIA bloc will conduct an in-depth review of the poll results and make more effective efforts to save democracy.

Without doubt, election results in Bihar reflect 'vote chori' on gigantic scale -- masterminded by PM, HM, EC, congress alleged.

The BJP and JD(U) improved their vote share in the Bihar assembly elections despite contesting less number of seats this time, signalling a better booth-level coordination and resistance to incumbency among voters.

The BJP's vote share rose to 20.07 per cent from 19.46 per cent in 2020, even as it contested 101 seats in these elections compared to 110 constituencies in the last polls, according to Election Commission data.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Vijay Kumar Sinha won the Lakhisarai seat by 24,940 votes on Friday, defeating his nearest Congress rival Amaresh Kumar, according to the Election Commission.

The BJP and its allies hailed Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar's good governance and development work for the NDA's decisive win in the Bihar elections, while the Opposition questioned the Election Commission's role in the SIR and poll code violations by the ruling alliance for its drubbing.

The National Democratic Alliance was set to sweep the Bihar assembly polls, surging ahead in close to 200 out of 243 seats on Friday, with the BJP emerging as the single-largest party with nearly 95 per cent strike rate, reaffirming the popularity and campaign clout of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

After the Congress' worst-ever drubbing in the Bihar polls, former Haryana chief minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda Friday said that the election results in the state were not "in accordance with the public support" the 'Mahagathbandhan' had anticipated."The alliance did not expect such an outcome," he further said.
