Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Tejashwi Yadav questions poll body, asks why EC didn’t disclose gender-wise data for Phase I voting

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: “The EC has not disclosed the gender-wise data of electors who cast their votes on November 6 even after four iddays have passed from the first phase of assembly polls. This is happening for the first time. Earlier, it was given immediately," Tejashwi claimed.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: Ahead of the second phase of voting in Bihar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday criticised the Election Commission of India (ECI) for “not disclosing gender-wise data” votes cast in the first phase held on November 6. The former Deputy CM and INDIA bloc chief ministerial candidate claimed that the RJD-helmed opposition coalition will not allow “vote theft or dishonesty”.

Final phase of polls tomorrow: The second and final phase of Bihar Assembly Election will be held tomorrow (Tuesday, November 10) and 3.70 crore voters will decide the fate of 1,302 candidates, including over half a dozen ministers in the Nitish Kumar government.

Security beefed up: In a bid to tackle any untoward incident, security has been beefed up across the state for the second phase of polls.

Bihar Assembly Elections 2025: BJP confident of 'historic' win in Bihar polls; takes 'tourist' jibe at Rahul over tiger safari

The BJP Monday exuded confidence about the NDA's "decisive and historic" victory in the Bihar assembly polls, as it took a swipe at Rahul Gandhi over his jungle safari in Madhya Pradesh's Satpura Tiger Reserve, asking him to enjoy his "political tourism".

Addressing a press conference at the BJP headquarters, senior BJP leader Ravi Shankar Prasad also slammed Tejashwi Yadav, terming the RJD leader's accusations against the Election Commission "false". It has become a "habit" of opposition leaders to attack "all organs of democracy" when they do not get the result they want, he claimed.

"Did we send police (security forces) or EC to Bihar. Making false allegations; he has stooped to such a level," the BJP leader said, reacting sharply to Yadav's claim that altogether 208 companies of security personnel from the BJP-ruled states have been deployed in Bihar for poll duties.
