Bihar Results: NDA In Lead, But Tejashwi Yadav+ Narrows Gap
A Bihar election campaign that hinged on speeches by Prime Minister Narendra Modi seems to have paid off for the BJP, which is set to emerge as the single-largest party. This demotes its ally, Nitish Kumar of the JDU, who is seeking a fourth term as Chief Minister, to second position in the alliance. Meanwhile the Tejashwi Yadav-led Grand Alliance put up a close fight in early leads, but the trends flipped in the past few hours. Counting of votes for the state election, which began this morning, has slowed down amid the novel coronavirus pandemic.
