Overview

  • Tejashwi Yadav said voters backed change in phase one and predicted a repeat on November 11 as campaigning ends for the second phase.
  • RJD alleged malpractice after VVPAT slips were found near KSR College in Samastipur and accused the Election Commission of failing to safeguard the process, also citing a CCTV outage claim.
  • The first phase recorded a 65.08% turnout, the highest in Bihar’s history, with phase two voting set for November 11 and results due November 14.
  • Tej Pratap Yadav was seen in two low‑key airport interactions with BJP MP Ravi Kishan, prompting speculation that BJP officials dismissed as routine with no confirmation of any realignment.
  • Tej Pratap, expelled from RJD and now leading JJD from Mahua, declared his break with Tejashwi permanent and separately claimed he faces threats with security stepped up.
