Polling for the second and the most crucial phase of Bihar Assembly election on 94 constituencies spread across 17 districts slated on 3 November is likely to decide the electoral fate of prominent figures including the Opposition’s CM candidate, Tejashwi Yadav, seven serving ministers of the Nitish Kumar government. Of the 94 seats at stake in this phase, the RJD is contesting 56, the BJP 46 and the JD(U) 43. While the general time for casting the vote has been set for between 7 am to 6 pm, polling in eight Naxal-affected constituencies will be held only between 7 am to 4 pm.
