The Election Commission reported that various enforcement agencies have seized a total of ₹33.97 crore in cash, liquor, drugs, and freebies since the announcement of the elections. According to the Commission, flying squads, surveillance teams, and video surveillance teams are on alert 24 hours a day, monitoring any suspicious activity. The aim is to prevent the use of money or other inducements to influence voters.
The NDA has announced its seat-sharing for the Bihar Assembly elections. The BJP and JDU will contest 101 seats each. The LJP (Ram Vilas) will contest 29 seats, the Rashtriya Lok Morcha six, and the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) six.
This time in Bihar, the NDA will face the Tejashwi Yadav-led India Block, the Congress, the CPI (ML), the CPI, the CPM, and the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP). At the same time, a new player is entering the election fray in the form of Prashant Kishore's new party, the Jan Suraj Party. This time, the electoral field will witness intense competition between multiple parties and alliances.
The Election Commission's strict monitoring and monitoring have made it clear that money power and inducements will have no place in the Bihar elections. Meanwhile, the seat-sharing strategies of political parties and the entry of new players have made this election even more interesting. Both voters and the administration are expecting a clean and fair election this time.
