The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is currently leading in 29 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, according to early counting trends. The opposition alliance, led by Rahul Gandhi, is ahead in 9 seats. In the 2019 elections, the opposition managed to secure only one seat in the state, marking a significant increase this election cycle.

Among the notable leaders, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh is leading in his Begusarai constituency. Meanwhile, Jitan Ram Manjhi, the founder of the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular), is leading in Gaya. Manjhi is currently ahead of his nearest rival, Kumar Sarbjit of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), by 1,962 votes.

The polling for these constituencies was held in seven phases between April 19 and June 1, indicating a thorough and extensive election process.

As the counting continues, initial trends from West Bengal indicate a close contest between the Trinamool Congress (TMC) and the BJP. As of 11:00 am, the TMC is leading in 15 out of 42 seats, while the BJP is ahead in 20 seats. Additionally, the Left Front is leading in one seat and Congress in two seats, reflecting a diverse political landscape in the state.

Nationally, the ruling BJP-led alliance is maintaining an early lead, but the Congress party is showing signs of gaining ground and increasing its seat count. This suggests a potentially competitive outcome as the final results are tallied.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's BJP and its allies appear to be in a strong position, but the gains by Congress could signal a shift in certain regions, adding a layer of uncertainty to the overall results.

The final results will provide a clearer picture of the political dynamics in India and the future direction of its leadership.
