Voting for the second and final phase of Bihar assembly elections has started. In this phase, more than 3 crore 70 lakh voters will decide the fate of 1302 candidates on 122 seats. Among them, many ministers of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s government are also in the fray.

According to the State Election Commission, in this phase voting is taking place at 45,399 polling stations, out of which 40,073 are located in rural areas. The total voters include 1.75 crore women. Hisua (Nawada) seat has the maximum number of 3.67 lakh voters, while Lauria, Chanpatia, Raxaul, Triveniganj, Sugauli and Banmakhi seats have the maximum number of 22-22 candidates in the fray.

Where are the votes being cast?

There was more than 65% voting in the first phase, due to which enthusiastic voting is expected in the second phase also. This time the elections are especially focused in Seemanchal region. Voting is being held in districts bordering Nepal like West Champaran, East Champaran, Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Supaul, Araria and Kishanganj.

Why is this step important?

More than four lakh soldiers have been deployed for security so that the voting can be conducted in a peaceful and transparent manner. There are many seats in Seemanchal where the impact of Muslim population is considered to be decisive, hence this phase has become very important for both NDA and India alliance.

On one hand, NDA is accusing the opposition of giving protection to infiltrators, while on the other hand, the opposition is expressing confidence in the support of minority and rural voters. The reputation of many veteran candidates is at stake in this phase. Prominent names include JDU’s Bijendra Prasad Yadav (Supaul), BJP’s Premendra Kumar (Gaya Town), Renu Devi (Bettiah), Neeraj Kumar Singh ‘Bablu’ (Chhatapur), Leshi Singh (Dhamdaha), Sheela Mandal (Phulparas) and Jama Khan (Chainpur).

The fate of these giants is also at stake

Former Deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Tarkishore Prasad is trying his luck from Katihar seat for the fifth consecutive time. At the same time, the contest has also become interesting on Balrampur and Kadwa seats of Katihar district. Both Mehboob Alam of CPI (ML) Liberation and Shakeel Ahmed Khan of Congress are trying to score a hat-trick of their third victory.
