Voting for the Bihar Legislative Council elections in the Darbhanga graduate and teacher constituencies concluded peacefully on Friday. Voters exercised their franchise at various polling centers in Darbhanga district, as well as in Madhubani, Samastipur, and Begusarai. Over 1.35 lakh voters decided the fate of 53 candidates in these constituencies. The district administration had made stringent security arrangements to ensure fair and peaceful elections.

Bihar BJP State President Sanjay Sarawagi cast his vote at the Musa Sah School polling center in Darbhanga. BJP MP Gopal Ji Thakur also voted at the Bahadurpur block office polling center. After casting his vote, MP Gopal Ji Thakur appealed to voters to actively participate in this important festival of democracy and to vote in favor of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).

In the graduate constituency, the Darbhanga seat witnessed a tough contest between the BJP and the Mahagathbandhan. The Mahagathbandhan fielded Congress's Rajnikant Pathak, RJD's Anil Kumar Jha, and CPI (ML) Liberation's Sandeep Chaudhary, who are challenging BJP candidate Dr. Sarvesh Kumar. Dr. Imtiaz Noorani of Jan Suraj is also in the fray, making it a triangular contest.

In the teacher constituency, Congress's Dr. Madan Mohan Jha is up against NDA-backed candidate Dr. Ghanshyam Rai. Dr. Ghanshyam Rai resigned from his post as Registrar of Munger University to contest on a Janata Dal (United) ticket. The NDA alliance is putting its full weight behind him. All eyes are now on the election results, which will be determined by the votes of over 1.35 lakh electors.
