Bihar Elections phase 2 voting across 122 assembly seats in 20 districts today.
Delhi Police on Tuesday registered an FIR under the UAPA in the blast near the Red Fort and conducted raids at several locations in the national capital, as preliminary investigations revealed links to the terrorist module arrested in Faridabad.
In a shocking development, sources have revealed that the vehicle involved in Monday’s deadly explosion near Delhi’s iconic Red Fort was linked to a radicalised “white collar” terror module operating out of Faridabad and south Kashmir. The blast, which claimed nine lives and injured several others, occurred when a car owned by Dr Umar Mohammad, a Pulwama-based doctor allegedly associated with the module, detonated near a traffic light.
Bihar Election Phase 2 Voting Update: Voter turnout stands at 14.554% as of 9 AM.
BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain and his wife Renu Hussain cast their votes today at a polling booth in Supaul.
Residents of Tarn Taran turned out to vote at a polling booth for the Assembly by-election in the Tarn Taran constituency. The by-election was held after the seat became vacant due to the passing of sitting AAP MLA Kashmir Singh Sohal.
Beyond unemployment, civic problems remain a sore point for Jehanabad residents. The chronic waterlogging near the underpass beneath the Patna–Gaya rail line is a recurring complaint. During monsoons, the area often floods, disrupting traffic and damaging vehicles.
In Budgam, residents lined up outside a polling station to cast their votes in the Assembly by-election for the Budgam constituency. The by-election was necessitated after Chief Minister Omar Abdullah resigned as the MLA from this seat, choosing instead to retain his Ganderbal seat — the other constituency he had contested in the Jammu and Kashmir elections.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has reportedly mapped out a strategy to connect with up to three crore migrant Biharis residing in other states, encouraging them either to return and vote or to exert influence back home. Meanwhile, the newly-launched Jan Suraaj Party, led by Kishor, appears to have struck a chord with these migrants, analysts say the party has higher resonance among Biharis living outside their home districts than within the state.
This focus on non-resident citizens signals a shift in campaign strategy: not just capturing locals in the booth but also tapping into the broader diaspora’s social and familial networks.
The performance of Nitish Kumar's ministers in this phase will be a key indicator of the ruling alliance's strength. With nine cabinet ministers in the fray, including prominent figures like Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Renu Devi, and Nitish Mishra, the results from their constituencies will signal whether the electorate continues to back the incumbent leadership. Analysts suggest that strong voter support in Seemanchal and other politically sensitive districts could help NDA retain its edge, while any significant losses may embolden the Mahagathbandhan and reshape the political landscape in the state.
The voting for Bihar election 2025 phase 2 has commenced from 7 am. All arrangements are in place for 2nd phase of Bihar elections 2025, which will decide the fate of 1,302 candidates, including 12 ministers from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s cabinet.
