Bihar: Bihar is fully prepared for the counting of votes today. Voting held in two phases—6 and 11 November—has made this election very interesting. Record voting and tough competition on many high-profile seats have made it clear that the results can change the equations of power. From Patna to Seemanchal, the reputation of both the NDA and the Grand Alliance is at stake.

Which contests will decide the future of Patna's power?

In this election, the contest between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav was the most prominent. Both the alliances have put forth their respective strengths. The seats in and around the capital, Patna, are deciding the real mood of this election.
