The Koshi Graduate Constituency election for the Bihar Legislative Council witnessed significant political fervor in Beldaur block of Khagaria district on Friday. This day was crucial for the most educated segment of society, the graduate voters, as they exercised their right to choose their representatives. Voting commenced at 8 AM at the polling booth located in the IT building within the block office complex, with graduates arriving to cast their ballots.

By 4 PM, when voting concluded, 839 graduate voters from Beldaur had participated, sealing the political fate of 15 candidates. The district administration had set up polling station number six in the IT building within the block office premises to facilitate all graduate voters in the Beldaur block area. This single booth registered a total of 839 graduate voters, comprising 667 male and 172 female voters. Despite the lower number of female voters, they actively participated in this festival of democracy.

This year's Koshi Graduate Constituency election was particularly interesting due to the presence of 15 candidates in the fray. Prominent party candidates included Dr. NK Yadav from the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nitish Kumar from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Manoj Kumar Jaiswal from the Indian National Congress, Matthew Kutty ND from the Aam Aadmi Party, and Rajnish Ranjan from the Jan Suraj Party. Additionally, 10 independent candidates – Dr. Abhay Kumar, Amarendra Kumar Sah, Kameshwar Yadav, Kundan Lal, Bam Bhola Sahni, Manoj Kumar Singh, Mithilesh Kumar Jha, Vandana Kumari, Sanjeev Kumar, and Santosh Kumar Tiwari – made the election multi-cornered and exciting. Voters emphasized that in graduate elections, the candidate's qualification, accessibility, and ability to voice the concerns of teachers and educated unemployed individuals mattered more than party symbols.

Voting started slowly but picked up pace, with around 232 voters casting their ballots by noon. The process continued uninterrupted until 4 PM. The administration had made stringent security arrangements to ensure peaceful, fair, and transparent voting. All ballot boxes have now been securely sealed, and the eyes of Beldaur, along with the entire Khagaria district, are now fixed on the counting of votes and the election results.
