Ahead of the Bihar Assembly poll announcement, the Election Commission met with the state’s political parties. A consensus reportedly emerged for holding the election in fewer phases, with the JDU asking for a single-phase poll. Parties also pressed for the elections to be held soon after the Chhath festival, which starts on October 25. The Bihar BJP introduced a contentious demand, urging the EC to tally and verify the identity of burqa-clad voters at polling booths. This call drew a sharp reaction from the RJD, which, while agreeing on the need for non-staggered elections, charged the BJP with a ‘political conspiracy’ for the ‘check burqa’ demand. One party representative stated, ‘We demand that the Bihar elections should be held in an impartial manner.’
