NDA Wins Bihar as Congress Alleges ‘Vote Chori’ and EC Inaction

The poll body responded by highlighting a record turnout alongside zero appeals under the voter-roll revision.

Overview

  • Official Election Commission trends showed the NDA comfortably past the majority mark, with BJP, JD(U) and allies leading across a large swath of seats.
  • The Congress was headed for its poorest Bihar tally since 2010, trailing on most of the constituencies it contested.
  • Ashok Gehlot alleged that ₹10,000 transfers to women under MMRY and pension payments continued during the model code period, even a day before voting, and called it vote theft.
  • Congress leaders also blamed the Special Intensive Revision of rolls, with Manickam Tagore claiming 65 lakh deletions that they say disproportionately affected Opposition voters.
  • EC officials defended the conduct of the election, citing a 67.13% turnout and saying there were zero SIR appeals, as Congress figures demanded probes and internal reviews.
