Political developments in Bihar indicate that the state assembly elections are likely to be held in three phases between November 5 and 15, following the Chhath Puja celebrations. The new assembly is expected to be formed before November 22, in accordance with constitutional timelines.
The Election Commission is reportedly planning a visit to Patna next week to review poll preparations, including security arrangements, polling personnel deployment, and voting infrastructure readiness. A formal announcement regarding the election schedule is expected in the first week of October, while the final voter list is set to be published on September 30. This will allow citizens to verify their details and ensure smooth voting during the polls.
Political parties have intensified their campaigning across the state, engaging with voters through rallies, public meetings, and social media outreach. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, speaking to India Today’s Maria Shakeel, expressed confidence about the Mahagathbandhan alliance winning the upcoming assembly elections. He emphasized the alliance’s focus on development, employment, and welfare programs to appeal to Bihar’s diverse electorate.
Observers note that the elections will be closely watched, not only for the political outcomes but also for voter turnout trends, particularly among first-time voters and young citizens. Both rural and urban constituencies will play a crucial role in shaping the results, reflecting Bihar’s socio-economic diversity.
With the election dates expected to be announced soon, the state is gearing up for a high-stakes political contest. Voter awareness campaigns, security arrangements, and party strategies are all being finalized to ensure a transparent, credible, and smooth election process across Bihar.
