With around 50 percent votes calculated in Bihar and its amazing results in by-elections all over the states, the BJP is all ready for the celebration. Celebrations were seen in Patna and preparations for the same were on at the party headquarters in New Delhi.

Lately, RJD is now rising as the single-largest party even as NDA holds on to lead.
NCP chief Sharad Pawar reacting to Bihar election results said to media, “We never focused on Bihar as we did not want to create any obstacles for the younger generation of politicians who are coming up. PM put in a lot of effort and on the other side, you have an inexperienced campaigner. We did not seek any seats from Tejashwi Yadav because we wanted him to fight the elections. I am not aware of what understanding the Congress had with RJD.”
Umesh Sinha, Deputy Election Commissioner of the Election Commission has said, “The emphasis of EC is that procedures and guidelines relating to counting and COVID-19 are to be sincerely followed. EC has directed that officials need not be in haste or hurry to declare results, they should take as much time as naturally required.”
