PATNA: Plurals Party candidate Pushpam Priya, who saw herself as a CM candidate, is not only lagging behind, but has failed to make any impact on the two seats from which she is fighting.
Pushpam Priya had obtained 257 votes in Bankipur and 129 votes in Bisfi as of 12 pm, with a total percentage of votes just over four percent. Bankipur belongs to the constituency of Patna Sahib Lok Sabha. Here he faces congressional candidate Luv Sinha and three-time BJP MLA Nitin Nabin. According to the latest trends, Nabin was leading Sinha by 4,734 votes.
He was also behind in Bisfi, in the Madhubani district, where he faces Dr. Faiyaj Ahmad (RJD) and Haribhushan Thakur of BJP.
Previously, the counting of votes began on Tuesday for the 243 assembly seats in Bihar at 55 centers in the state.
According to exit polls, most pollsters predict that the Mahagathbandhan, led by RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, will win the polls. However, if the results disprove the results of the exit poll, the people of Bihar will have placed their faith in Prime Minister Nitish Kumar’s “sushashan”.
Bihar first state where full-fledged elections were held after coronavirus
The vote counting started at 8am with all the real-time trends and election results on the Election Commission of India website http://results.eci.gov.in and the Voter Helpline app.
The ECI has established 55 counting centers in the 38 districts of the state, which voted in three phases on October 28, November 3 and November 7 to decide the fate of 3,755 candidates.
