Patna, Nov 13 (NationPress) As the Bihar Assembly Election results draw near, the Janata Dal (United) has adorned its office with posters showcasing Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, boldly declaring, “Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai” (The Tiger is still alive).
Alongside the posters displayed outside the JD(U) office, the party also promoted this message on its X handle, highlighting Nitish Kumar with the phrase, “Sirf ek din ka intezar firse Nitish Sarkar” -- translating to “Just one day’s wait for the Nitish government again.”
This campaign comes as the state eagerly anticipates the vote counting set for November 14.
Earlier on Wednesday, CM Nitish Kumar paid a visit to the Takht Shri Harmandir Sahib Gurdwara in Patna, offering his respects at the holy Joda Sahib of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj and Mata Sahib Kaur Ji. The Chief Minister received blessings at this sacred site, which holds profound importance in Sikh history.
The Bihar Assembly elections took place in two phases, on November 6 and 11. Voter enthusiasm was remarkable, with an estimated 68.79 percent turnout recorded on the final day of polling.
In the first phase, Bihar achieved a new milestone with a turnout of 2.09 percent higher than the 62.57 percent in 2020, although it fell short of the 64.6 percent turnout seen in the 1998 Lok Sabha election. Certain districts exhibited remarkably high participation: Kishanganj (76.26 percent), Katihar (75.23 percent), Purnea (73.79 percent), and Supaul (70.69 percent), showcasing strong voter engagement.
The Bihar Legislative Assembly comprises 243 seats, with elections already concluded in 121 constituencies on November 6. Political parties and supporters throughout the state are preparing for the results, and the “Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai” campaign has swiftly become a symbol of JD(U)’s confidence and effort to motivate its voter base.
As Bihar eagerly awaits the counting of votes on Friday, the atmosphere is charged with anticipation.
