Bihar may be on the cusp of a major generational shift in politics as it prepares for the counting of votes for the Assembly election. Most pollsters forecasting a landslide for the 5-party Grand Alliance led by young RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. Counting will be taken up at 55 centres across 38 districts at 8 am where the outcome will determine the fortune of Nitish Kumar’s government that has helmed the state for a decade and a half.
The state has 243 Assembly constituencies and the most enthusiastically watched will obviously be Raghopur in Vaishali district from where Tejashwi Yadav is seeking re-election. A win for the RJD-led coalition will bring the redemption of sorts for Tejashwi Yadav whose leadership aptitude was called into question after his party failed to win a single seat in the Lok Sabha election
