Bihar Polls: The campaign for the Bihar Assembly election concluded on Sunday, as the voting for the second and final phase will be held on November 11. While the voting for the first phase for 121 out of the total 243 seats was held on November 6, the polling for the remaining 122 seats will be held on Tuesday. While the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is eyeing a return to power, the Mahagathbandhan is contesting to form a government in the state after a decade. The entry of poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor-led Jan Suraaj has added the spices to the politics of the state.
