Overview

  • Election Commission trends and reports show the NDA comfortably past the majority mark, with the Congress and its Mahagathbandhan allies routed.
  • Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot alleges ₹10,000 transfers to women under MMRY and other payments continued during the campaign despite the Model Code of Conduct.
  • Party leaders also blame the Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls, citing claims of around 65 lakh deletions that they say hurt opposition voters.
  • The Election Commission defends the process, noting record turnout in Bihar at about 67% and stating there were zero appeals in the SIR exercise.
  • Jairam Ramesh accuses the Prime Minister, Home Minister and the EC of ‘vote chori on a gigantic scale,’ as Congress records its worst Bihar tally since 2010 and faces calls for an internal review.
