In the Bihar assembly bypolls, over 12 lakh voters will determine the outcome for 38 candidates across Tarari, Imamganj, Belaganj, and Ramgarh. These elections will test the strength of the Mahagathbandhan and NDA while facing a new challenge from Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj, a new contender on the political stage.

The Bihar bypolls have poised an intriguing political battle in Tarari, Imamganj, Belaganj, and Ramgarh, where more than 12 lakh voters are set to cast their votes on Wednesday.

This election, conducted across 1,277 booths, primarily in rural regions, will engage a diverse electorate, including over 5.73 lakh women and 631 centenarians.

The bypolls serve as a litmus test for the Mahagathbandhan, spearheaded by Tejashwi Yadav, and the NDA led by BJP, both challenged by newcomer Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj, adding new dynamics to Bihar's political landscape.
