Bihar Elections: Final Phase Polling Underway for 122 Seats
Voting is happening today for the last part of the Bihar state elections, covering 122 areas.
Many ministers from the current government are trying to get re-elected in this round.
Some smaller political groups that are part of the main ruling alliance are also being tested to see how popular they are.
There were some rumors about disagreements within the opposition group, but one leader said everything is fine.
Certain areas with a large number of Muslim voters are very important in this election.
In one specific area, a politician from the ruling party is running as an independent candidate, making the contest very interesting.

The first round of voting had a very good turnout, and people are expected to vote in large numbers again.
The final results will be known after the votes are counted next week.
