The Bihar Assembly Elections is likely to be held in October to elect 243 members of the Bihar Legislative Assembly.
The term of the current assembly elected in 2015 will expire on 29 November 2020.
While the main contest is set to be between the BJP-JD(U) and RJD-Congress-led Grand Alliance or Mahagathbandhan, smaller regional parties are also looking to grab voters’ attention in the state where assembly elections are due next year.
In the 2015 Assembly elections, the RJD had emerged as the single largest party winning 80 seats, the JD(U) 71 and the BJP 53.
The Congress bagged 27 seats in the 243-seat Bihar Assembly.
However, Nitish who was then part of the Mahagathbandhan formed the government with RJD.
Later he opted out of the alliance in 2017 to join hands with the BJP within 24 hours of resigning from the CM’s post.
