Polling and Counting Dates
The Bihar Assembly polls will be held in two phases. Voting is scheduled for November 6 and November 11. The vote counting will take place on November 14.
The BJP is gearing up for the elections by announcing candidates in phases. The second list shows the party’s strategy to include popular personalities like Maithali Thakur to attract voters in key constituencies.
Election experts say including well-known public figures can help parties connect with younger voters and the cultural community.
BJP’s Campaign Moves Ahead
With the candidates announced, the BJP will now focus on campaigning across constituencies. The party aims to secure a majority in the 243-seat Bihar Assembly.
Maithali Thakur’s candidature has drawn attention due to her popularity as a singer. This could add energy to the BJP’s campaign in Alinagar and the surrounding areas.
