RJD confident of victory as second phase of Bihar polls underway

As polling is underway for the second phase of the Bihar Assembly elections, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Shakti Singh Yadav expressed confidence that the Mahagathbandhan is poised for a decisive victory, stating that the people of Bihar are eager to see Tejashwi Yadav take oath as Chief Minister.

Yadav noted that the first phase of polling, held on November 6 across 121 constituencies, reflected a strong public trend in favour of Mahagathbandhan candidates. “Over 80 percent of seats show signs of a public trend favouring the Mahagathbandhan candidates. Today is the second phase. There is uneasiness among those who, by seizing power, have pushed Bihar into disarray. They have made it a victim of administrative chaos,” he said.
