PATNA : The Election Commission of India (ECI) on Saturday announced the schedule for the Lok Sabha elections with Bihar going to the polls in seven phases. Former allies-turned-foe RDJ’s Lalu Prasad and JD(U)’s Nitish Kumar will be seen battling it out for 40 seats in the polls.
The main opposition party RJD, however, faces a challenge to put up a good show in the election after drawing a blank in the 2019 general elections.
As per the schedule issued by the EC, the first phase of election will be held on April 19, second — April 26, third — May 7, fourth — May 13, fifth — on May 20, sixth — on May 25 and seventh phase on June 1.
