In what could be termed as a major setback to the ruling JD(U)-RJD alliance in Bihar, rival BJP-led NDA alliance has won 13 out of 24 seats in the state legislative council elections on Friday.
Ruling JD(U) (5 seats) and RJD (3 seats) managed to win just 8 seats while remaining were won by Congress and an Independent each.
Today's results could be understood as a huge blow to Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav, who joined hands to counter their common foe i.e. BJP. Bihar CM had termed these polls as a semifinal before the state goes for polls in the month of October, this year.
The election for 24 seats of Bihar Legislative council were held on Tuesday with an estimated 94 percent voting recorded during the polls. Altogether, 152 contestants were in the fray for the 24 council seats.
