Bihar votes in Phase 2 of polls

The second phase of the assembly election in Bihar underway. Polling is being held on 122 assembly seats across 20 districts of the state on Tuesday. A chunk of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's cabinet is up for polls in this round.This phase is being seen as a test of strength for minor NDA partners - Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha, and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha, both of which have got six seats each.

Nine ministers from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's cabinet are contesting in this phase -- Bijendra Prasad Yadav (Supaul), Sumit Kumar Singh (Chakai), Mohd Zama Khan (Chainpur), Leshi Singh (Dhamdaha), Krishna Nandan Paswan (Harsidhi), Renu Devi (Bettiah), Neeraj Kumar Bablu (Chhatapur), Nitish Mishra (Jhanjharpur), Prem Kumar (Gaya), Sheila Mandal (Phulparas), Vijay Mandal (Sikti), and Jayant Raj Kushwaha (Amarpur).In the first phase, Bihar recorded its "highest ever" voter turnout of over 65 per cent, raising expectations for a strong democratic exercise in the concluding phase. Security has been stepped up, with over 400,000 personnel deployed across the state to ensure smooth conduct of the elections.

Voting for by-elections to 8 Assembly constituencies across 6 States and 1 UT begins.
