Bihar Election Results 2020: State saw a bitter and hectic election campaign
After more than 14 hours of counting, dozens of twists and turns and allegations of
cheating, the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) was announced as the
winner of the Bihar Assembly election in the (very) early hours of Wednesday
morning. Boosted by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's several rallies, the NDA hit
the majority mark of 122 at 2.57 AM. According to data on the Election
Commission's website, the BJP won 72 seats to emerge as the senior member in its
alliance with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JDU, which managed just 42.
The BJP had claimed victory in Bihar assembly polls for the National Democratic
Alliance even as the counting for 50 seats were still underway.
"Every section of Bihar has rejected hollow promises, casteism and politics of
appeasement, and has backed the NDA's development agenda," Union Home
Minister Amit Shah tweeted late Tuesday night.
Minutes after Mr Shah's tweet, PM Modi tweeted, saying the people of Bihar have
made a "decisive decision" to give development a chance.
The Election Commission held four press briefings since morning the counting of
votes took place amid unprecedented times; India is the second worst-affected
country by the novel coronavirus pandemic. The state elections in Bihar are the
biggest in the country since the start of the pandemic.
It was a high-stake battle for the BJP-JDU combine as well as for Tejashwi
Yadav's Grand Alliance as he made a desperate attempt for the RJD's return to
power. Of 243 seats, the JDU contested 122 seats, while the BJP contested 121
seats. Targeted by opposition, he faced a major anti-incumbency wave.
Earlier in the day, as the NDA surged ahead, the Grand Alliance, refused to
concede. While the Congress said they would wait till the last vote is counted, the
RJD has made an appeal to its supporters to stay at counting centres till midnight.
Nitish Kumar's ex-ally Chirag Paswan, who chose to go solo this time, is another
young leader on the frontline in the state apart from Tejashwi Yadav, ex-chief
minister Lalu Prasad Yadav's son. The JDU today said the ruling party has been
"hurt" by Chirag Paswan's stinging comments amid the campaign heat after he
parted ways. However the LJP's performance has not been impressive as many
observers called it a "vote cutter" for Nitish Kumar.
Over the last few weeks, a fierce campaign saw Prime Minister Narendra Modi -
the NDA'S de-facto face- seeking votes for Nitish Kumar. The BJP-JDU combine
has been targeted by opposition over issues such as unemployment and the
handling of the pandemic.
Tejashwi Yadav had made a big poll promise of 10 lakh jobs. While the BJP
attacked Tejashwi Yadav over the issue, the party's manifesto also made a mention
of 19 lakh jobs, apart from "free Covid vaccine" - which gave more ammunition to
the opposition. Many opposition leaders alleged that the ruling party is using
pandemic to get votes.
Nitish Kumar, who has faced jibes, slogan-shouting crowds and on one occasion,
an onion attack, has said this will be his last election. "This election will end and
this is my last election. Ant bhala to sab bhala (All's well that ends well)," he said
while campaigning in Bihar's Purnea.
The Congress managed to win only 19 of the 70 it had contested. The Left parties, though,
sprang a surprise winning 16 out of the 29 seats the CPI(ML), the CPI and the CPI(M) had
contested.
The performance of CPI(ML), the most radical among the mainstream Left groups, stood out
as it won 12 of the 19 seats it contested. The CPI and the CPI(M) won two seats each.
Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), which fielded 137 candidates in Bihar Assembly polls, managed
to secure only one seat. LJP candidate from Matihani constituency, Raj Kumar Singh
defeated Janata Dal-United's Narendra Kumar Singh aka Bogo Singh by a slender margin of
333 votes.
LJP candidate from Matihani got 61,364 votes whereas Bogo Singh received 61,031 votes.

The RJD emerged as the single largest party in the assembly bagging 75 seats. Its vote share
at 23.03 per cent was also the highest for any single party in the elections.
The opposition Grand Alliance fell way short of the magic mark. The total number of seats
won by all its five constituents stood at 110.

CPI got six and the CPI-ML (Liberation) 19.
In 2010, only the CPI managed to win a seat in Bihar, while in 2015, the CPI-ML
(Liberation) grabbed three seats as the other two Left parties drew a blank.

Bihar Election 2020 Results LIVE Updates: "Not Under Pressure", Poll Body Denies
Opposition's Claims On Counting
The Election Commission has denied Bihar's opposition alliance allegations that their
candidates were not being given winning certificates due to pressure from Chief Minister
Nitish Kumar and his government.
"We are not under any pressurre... results have been declared only on 146 seats," the Election
Commission told the media regarding the Rashtriya Janata Dal's claim that it has "won" 119
seats.
The counting has been slow since morning over coronavirus-related restrictions.
Late in the evening, the gap with the ruling NDA expanding, the RJD had released a list of
119 seats, claiming they were won by the candidates of the RJD, Congress and the Left
alliance. But though the names were in the Election Commission website, the candidates had
not received the victory certificates, the party said. The Congress backed up the allegations,
saying one of their victorious candidates did not receive the certificate.

Bihar Election Results 2020: The National Impact Of Bihar Election
Results Explained In 7 Points
The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) appeared headed for a win in Bihar today as
votes were counted in the first major election held in the shadow of the coronavirus. The
NDA, defying multiple exit polls, sailed past the majority mark and the BJP was even the
largest party at one point in a state where it has always been junior partner. However, the
opposition alliance led by Tejashwi Yadav put up a strong fight, emerging as the largest party
after 10 hours of counting. The unexpected surge for the NDA, despite Nitish Kumar facing
anti-incumbency after three straight terms, has been attributed by the BJP to Prime Minister
Narendra Modi's campaign." itemprop="description
