A surprising incident came to light on Tuesday (November 11) during the Jubilee Hills by-election in Hyderabad. A woman went to the polling booth to vote, but she was surprised when she came to know that she had already voted. This knowledgeable woman became very upset and said that she had just come to vote.

This is not just the story of one voter, but a big question mark on the credibility of the country’s election system. When a conscious Muslim woman is standing at the polling station with her identity, then who is the person who casts her vote and under what process was fake voting done here? Is this a case of double voting or is there any deliberate manipulation in the voter list?

There was huge anger among the people
When the woman asked the booth officials questions about voting, they did not have any direct answer, due to which there was a lot of anger among the woman and other people present there. People created a ruckus there shouting slogans like CEO, we want answers. This shows how serious the negligence has been in the verification of voter lists at the ground level.

Let us tell you that despite strong identity cards like Aadhar Card and Voter ID, if someone else can cast vote using someone else’s identity, then it is clearly a serious administrative failure.

BRS demanded strict action against the culprits
Regarding this matter, Bharat Rashtra Samiti (BRS) has alleged that such rigging is not only a violation of the fundamental rights of a citizen, but it also directly challenges the fairness of the entire electoral process. BRS leaders have demanded an immediate high-level investigation from the Election Commission in this matter and strict action against the culprits.

BJP has complained to the Chief Electoral Officer regarding a statement by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. On Monday (November 10, 2025), BJP leader Krishna Kumar Kallu lodged this complaint and said that the allegations made by Tejashwi Yadav against Amit Shah are completely wrong and fabricated.

In the complaint, Krishna Kumar Kallu has said that Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has released a video through his social media. In this, he is accusing the Home Minister of India, Amit Shah, of calling and meeting government officials and employees of the Bihar government while sitting in Bihar. This allegation is completely wrong and fabricated. Efforts are being made to confuse the voters. The image of Home Minister Amit Shah is being tarnished.

BJP leader demanded action

Krishna Kumar Kallu has demanded action on this comment of Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav. Also appealed to the Election Commission to seek proof on the allegations made by Tejashwi. If the Leader of the Opposition does not provide any proof then it becomes an allegation of violation of the code of conduct.

What has Tejashwi Yadav said?

Last Sunday (November 09, 2025), Tejashwi Yadav shared a video from his X handle. It was written in the post, “After the first phase, there is a very sad atmosphere in the NDA camp. Due to the fear of defeat, the Home Minister is meeting officials and threatening on phone. He switches off the CCTV of the hotel where he is staying and calls the officials late at night.”

He further wrote, “From the CM residence, without the knowledge of the Chief Minister, the corrupt officer, who is in the clutches of the ED of the Bhunja Party’s friend circle, is calling the officers and giving instructions regarding detaining the Grand Alliance workers till the day of voting by the police, disturbing the strong booths supported by the Grand Alliance. Officers of the relevant range are holding meetings. The change is certain, hence the officers are even sending us the screenshot of the caller.” Along with this, he has written many other things about which a complaint has been made by BJP.

Voting for the first phase of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 has been completed, while voting for the second phase is to be held on November 11. Along with this, preparations for counting of votes are going on at a fast pace across the state. The Election Commission has completed all necessary arrangements to ensure security and transparency at the counting centres.

According to media reports, counting of Bihar Assembly election votes will start at 8 am on November 14. Regarding this, strong rooms have been made in the districts, where EVM machines are kept under complete security. Market committee premises have been selected for counting of votes in Muzaffarpur. Three level security arrangements have been made here. Bihar Police personnel are deployed in the outermost circle, Bihar SAP forces are deployed in the middle circle and central paramilitary forces have been deployed in the innermost circle. There is a system of strict frisking at the entrance and dozens of CCTV cameras have been installed throughout the complex, which are being monitored 24 hours from the control room.

Strong room equipped with highest security standards (Bihar Vote Counting Security)

The Election Commission says that all the guidelines are being strictly followed to ensure that there is no lapse at any level in the transparency of vote counting. The strong room is equipped with the highest security standards and only authorized officials are allowed to enter there. All the officials associated with the voting process are busy preparing for the counting day, so that there is no lapse in monitoring and coordination.

Initial trends will start emerging after 8:30 am (Bihar Election Result 2025 Time)

According to the information, initial trends are likely to emerge after 8:30 am. Considering the number of booths, the counting of Sakra and Meenapur assembly constituencies is expected to be completed first, while the counting of Muzaffarpur and Gaighat seats will be completed last.

Counting of postal ballot will start first (Postal Valet Counting)

Counting of postal ballot will start first on the RO table. The least number of booths in the district are in Sakra and Meenapur, so counting will be completed here in about 25 rounds. At the same time, due to more booths in Muzaffarpur and Gaighat, counting will continue for about 30 rounds.

The administration is fully alert regarding vote counting. The objective of the Election Commission is that the result process should be conducted in a completely fair, secure and transparent manner. So that the political equations of Bihar become clear by the evening of 14th November.

Amidst the Bihar Assembly elections, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav held a press conference on Monday (November 10) and made a scathing attack on the Election Commission and the Central Government. Tejashwi said that even after 4 days, the Election Commission has not released the voting figures, which makes it clear that the Commission is hiding something. He raised the question as to why the Commission is not telling how many men and women voted.

Tejashwi said that the Election Commission has now become a tool of BJP and is dead. Tejashwi alleged that Home Minister Amit Shah is putting pressure on the officials. The Home Minister has no work, he is calling the district officials, many people are being picked up, pressure is being put on the administration.

‘Want to make Bihar their colony’

Tejashwi said that Amit Shah wants to make Bihar his colony. He alleged that 208 police companies have been sent to Bihar from BJP ruled states.

Tejashwi questioned that police have been brought from BJP ruled states UP, Gujarat, Assam, Rajasthan, Meghalaya, Goa, Uttarakhand, but why police from neighboring states like Jharkhand and Bengal did not come? Will the outside police now protect Bihar?”

He also said that CCTVs are being found switched off everywhere. Election Commission should tell why this is happening. Is all this being done deliberately to hide dishonesty?

Bihar will change after November 14, will become the most developed state

Tejashwi further said that this time a government with jobs is going to come in Bihar. He said that after November 14, Bihar will follow the path of becoming the most developed state. The public has made up its mind that this time a government will be formed that provides jobs. He claimed that this time history is going to be made in Bihar. People have voted for change.

Tejashwi said that he held 171 election meetings, and everywhere the mood of change was clearly visible among the public. “People of every society, every religion, every caste have supported us this time.

The RJD leader also targeted Nitish Kumar and the NDA government. He said that the people who have been ruling for 20 years have made Bihar one of the poorest and most backward states of the country. Highest migration, highest poverty and highest unemployment is in Bihar. Tejashwi said sarcastically, “There are two useless Deputy Chief Ministers, but no work has been done for the public.”

Tejashwi also mentioned the incidents of Samastipur and Sarairanjan. He said that you must have seen how the slips were thrown there, questions are being raised on the role of the administration. Everything is happening before the eyes of the Election Commission, but no action is being taken.

Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday (November 9, 2025) took a dig at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and made fun of him. BJP said that when Bihar assembly elections are going on, he (Rahul Gandhi) has gone on jungle safari in Madhya Pradesh. BJP said that for them LoP means Leader of Partying.

BJP Spokesperson made fun of Rahul Gandhi

BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala posted on social media platform X and wrote, ‘For Rahul Gandhi, LoP means Leader of Tourism and Partying. When voting is going on in Bihar, they go on holidays and when they lose, they will blame the Election Commission and give PowerPoint presentations on H files (holiday files).

Poonawalla taunted by quoting a couplet, ‘Congress kept making this mistake all along, the dust was on the face, Congress kept cleaning the mirror.’ Regarding his statement, it was said that it meant that Congress has been avoiding introspection despite its consecutive election defeats.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Madhya Pradesh

In fact, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi had reached Pachmarhi, a hill tourist destination located near Narsinghpur district of Madhya Pradesh, on Saturday (November 8, 2025), where he attended the training camp of Congress district presidents of the state.

After this, he enjoyed the jungle safari in an open jeep on Sunday (November 9, 2025) morning. He left from Ravi Shankar Bhawan at 6:15 in the morning and covered a distance of about 10 kilometers and reached Panarpani Gate, from where he later returned.

Rahul once again accused the Election Commission

It is likely that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will leave for Bihar late evening on Sunday (November 9, 2025) and then address an election rally in Kishanganj district. However, even during his visit to Madhya Pradesh, Rahul Gandhi once again targeted the Election Commission and made allegations. He said that votes are being stolen through Special Intensive Scrutiny (SIR) being run at the behest of BJP.

Akhilesh Yadav posted on the social media platform

He said that BJP’s history has been of backdoor politics. Akhilesh said that these people have been doing the work of informers and intelligence since before independence. But now their loopholes have been exposed and the public is no longer going to tolerate scams. Now those at the back door should hear the knock of the public.

Questions raised on Election Commission also

The SP chief also raised serious questions on the role of the Election Commission on this entire episode. He said that honest officials are being neglected in the Election Commission, and the sanctity of the democratic process is being tainted with the connivance of some people. Akhilesh said that action should be taken against such corrupt officials so that the credibility of democracy is preserved.

Akhilesh Yadav said that the days of those who hollow out democracy from within like termites are over. The new generation will now create a new future.

As soon as the information about the incident was received, the local people made a video and made it viral on social media, after which the politics heated up. On information, the District Magistrate and Superintendent of Police reached the spot and confiscated all the slips. The officials have assured a fair investigation.

More than 45 thousand polling stations in the first phase

According to the information given by the Election Commission, a total of 1,314 candidates were in the fray in the first phase, of which 1,192 were male and 122 female candidates. There were about 8,609 polling stations in urban areas and 36,733 polling stations in rural areas.

Voting in the first phase of Bihar Assembly elections 2025 has created a new history. In the voting held on Thursday, the state has recorded the highest ever voting rate of 64.66 percent. This is the highest figure in the electoral history of Bihar, leaving behind all previous records.

According to the Election Commission, the voting took place in a peaceful and festive atmosphere, where extraordinary enthusiasm was seen among the voters.

The first phase took place under the strict monitoring of the Election Commission.

Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and Election Commissioners Dr. Sukhbir Singh Sandhu and Dr. Vivek Joshi personally monitored the entire voting. This time, for the first time, 100 percent live webcasting was arranged at all 45,341 polling stations in the state.

The voting process was reviewed by directly communicating with the District Magistrates and observers from the Commission’s control room. In this phase, about 3.75 crore voters exercised their franchise on 121 assembly seats in 18 districts.

International observers praised the first phase

This time Bihar was also in the news at the international level. Under the International Election Visitors Program (IEVP), 16 representatives from six countries – South Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Philippines, Belgium and Colombia – witnessed the voting process firsthand. These foreign observers praised the election system of Bihar and said that it is an excellent example of organized, transparent and participatory democracy.

New facilities given to voters at polling stations

In this election, the Commission took many new initiatives to improve the experience of voters. This time, colorful photographs of candidates were given on EVMs, mobile deposit facility at polling stations and newly designed Voter Information Slips (VIS). Arrangements for wheelchairs, e-rickshaw services and volunteer helpers were also made for disabled voters, so that no citizen is deprived of his rights.

Whenever voting increased, the political equation of Bihar changed.

Whenever the number of voting increases in Bihar elections, the political equation also changes. This has happened three times before.

1. 62.04% voting in 1990 – Lalu Prasad Yadav came to power for the first time.
2. 61.79% voting in 1995 – Lalu Yadav returned to power again.
3. 62.57% voting in 2000 – There was a close contest between Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav and ultimately Rabri Devi government came to power.

This is not a coincidence but an indication that when people come out of their homes in large numbers in Bihar, there is a change in the power equations.

Increase in politics after the first phase

After heavy voting in the first phase, both NDA and Grand Alliance have declared it in their favor. NDA says that such encouraging voting is a proof of public confidence in development and stability. Whereas the Grand Alliance says that this voting rate is a sign of change, the public now wants a new government.

Bihar will set an example of democracy

If we look at history and statistics, whenever the voting percentage has increased in Bihar, there has been a new turn in politics. This time, a record 64.66% voting took place in the first phase only. This means that this figure may go up further in the future. Now it remains to be seen in whose favor this enthusiasm goes. In the form of people expressing confidence in the name of development or in the form of a new wave of change. One thing is certain from the first phase that in the coming phase, Bihar has once again set an example of democracy.

A strange scene is being seen these days in the streets of Jubilee Hills of Telangana regarding the by-elections. This is not just an election, but a drama being staged by the leaders, which is staged for a few days and then the curtain falls. Seeing this, some may feel sad, some may get angry, but to be honest, it is interesting what politics makes the leaders do.

In this race to gather votes, leaders are abandoning their real work i.e. public welfare and development and doing such work which does not match their position and prestige. Some leaders are shaving at barber shops, while others are trying to prove themselves as a common man by driving auto-rickshaws on the road. Someone is making tea at a tea shop, while someone is sweeping a house for two minutes. See the irony, these are the same leaders who are not seen in their areas for months and suddenly become laborers as soon as the elections come.

All this is just a show, so that the voters can be wooed. Leaders know where the pulse of the people lies and hence they try to create an emotional connect by doing work related to poverty, simplicity and everyday struggles. Even in a prestigious area like Jubilee Hills, where the real need is infrastructure and better governance, leaders are channeling their energies into such populist stunts.

The world knows that once the elections are over, these leaders will return to their suits and air-conditioned offices. This passion of working among the public is just a fever for a few days. After which they will disappear in the same way as the horn disappears from the head of a donkey.

The public also understands that this is all an election gimmick, but they are forced to be a part of this game. The question is whether this time the public will ignore this pretense and choose a leader who does real work or will they once again fall prey to these drama leaders.
