Key Questions Answered
Polling for the 8 seats of the Bihar Legislative Council is scheduled for October 23, and the counting of votes will take place on October 27.
The eight seats comprise four graduate constituencies (Patna, Darbhanga, Tirhut, and Kosi) and four teachers' constituencies (Patna, Darbhanga, Tirhut, and Saran).
The Patna Graduate seat is a major center of attraction because sitting JDU MLC Neeraj Kumar is facing opposition from Mokama MLA Anant Singh, who is supporting Jan Suraaj Party candidate Dr. Anuj Singh instead of his own party's candidate.
