Polling for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 began at 7 a.m. across 18 districts, covering 121 of the 243 seats. Over 3.75 crore voters will determine the political fortunes of 1,314 candidates, including prominent leaders like Tejashwi Yadav, Tej Pratap Yadav, and deputy chief ministers Samrat Choudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha. The elections mark a fierce contest between the ruling NDA and the Mahagathbandhan alliance. Analysts suggest the outcome of this phase could shape voter sentiment and coalition strategies for subsequent rounds of polling in the state. (PC: The Hindu)
