The Bihar Assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, and the votes will be counted on November 14.
The main contest is between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)-led Grand Alliance, spearheaded by Tejashwi Yadav, and the National Democratic Alliance, which includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which is trying to expand its reach by bringing in both old and new faces, and Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal (United). Tejashwi Yadav is the Chief Ministerial face of the Grand Alliance.
The BJP is contesting on 101 seats. Singer Maithili Thakur is helping the BJP connect with people in the Mithilanchal region, and Mangal Pandey is seen as a reliable leader in Siwan.
