Counting of the Bihar Legislative Council elections is underway, with the Bharatiya Janata Party securing one seat so far, according to initial reports from the counting centre.
The counting process is continuing for the remaining seven seats. In the Patna graduate constituency, Janata Dal (United) candidate Neeraj Kumar is reportedly trailing in what had emerged as a closely watched contest.
The Patna graduate seat drew added attention after Mokama MLA Anant Singh boycotted the election. Officials are continuing the count, and the final picture on the remaining seats is yet to emerge.
