For instance, in Hilsa, the Rashtriya Janata Dal candidate lost to the Janata Dal (United) candidate by just 12 votes.
Similarly, in Barbigha, JD(U) candidate Sudarshan Kumar defeated Gajanand Shahi of the Congress by just 113 votes. Likewise, in Gopalganj’s Bhorey assembly seat, Jitendra Paswan of CPI(ML) lost to JD(U)’s Sunil Kumar by 462 votes. The CPI(ML) has demanded a recount of votes, alleging that the local JD(U) MP was illegally present during the vote counting process.
