Patna, Nov 14 (NationPress) With the counting process for the Bihar elections in progress, a striking poster was displayed outside Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's residence on Friday, conveying the message, “Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai, Hindu Muslim Sikh-Isai, Sab Ko Bahut-Bahut Dhanyawad.”
The day prior to the Bihar Assembly election results on Thursday, the Janata Dal (United) had also put up posters outside its office featuring Nitish Kumar with the bold tagline, “Tiger Abhi Zinda Hai” (The Tiger is still alive).
In addition to the posters outside the JD(U) office, the party echoed the same message on its official X account, showcasing Nitish Kumar with the phrase, “Sirf ek din ka intezar, phir se Nitish sarkar” — which translates to “Just one more day’s wait for the Nitish government again.”
Meanwhile, the counting of votes for all 243 constituencies in the Bihar Assembly election is occurring under rigorous multi-tier security measures.
The counting commenced at 8 a.m. with the processing of postal ballots, followed by the counting of votes from Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) at 8:30 a.m.
A comprehensive security perimeter has been established across the state's 46 counting centers in 38 districts. The inner security tier around the strongrooms and counting halls is overseen by the Central Armed Police Force (CAPF), while the outer security is managed by the Bihar Police and district police forces.
Over 106 companies of security personnel from outside the state have also been deployed. Strongrooms, where EVMs and VVPATs were sealed, have been under continuous 24/7 CCTV surveillance since the polling concluded.
Candidates and their agents were allowed to monitor the security outside the inner perimeter.
The counting process is being supervised by 243 Returning Officers and 243 Counting Observers appointed by the Election Commission. More than 18,000 counting agents appointed by the candidates are also present to observe the proceedings. Entry into the counting centers is restricted to individuals with valid passes, and mobile phones are strictly prohibited inside the counting halls.
The Election Commission has advised the media and the public to rely solely on the official results portal for accurate updates. Live, real-time results and trends are available on the official ECI website and the Voter Helpline App.
