Counting for Bihar's 243 assembly seats stretches late into the night. BJP & RJD's vote share remain neck-and-neck, but trends show NDA has crossed halfway mark. Here are the day's updates.
While many lesser-known dynasts have joined the poll fray in Bihar, some fresh political entrants are also looking to gain ground through other routes.
