Bihar Assembly Election live updates: Congress accuses BJP, Nitish Kumar of horse-trading ahead of counting day

As Bihar decides its fate in the Assembly elections 2020, it remains to be seen whether incumbent CM Nitish Kumar's promises and leadership have convinced people to let him remain in power for another term. Meanwhile, politicos Tejashwi Yadav and Chirag Paswan, in their debut runs, defend the legacy of their fathers. People have come out in mass numbers to support Tejashwi's rallies while exit polls have also given the Grand alliance (Mahagathbandhan) a clear edge over others. Counting of votes for the three-phase Bihar assembly polls, which ended on Saturday, will be held on November 10.

Avinash Pandey, Congress Observer of Bihar, alleges horse-trading by BJP and Nitish Kumar - ANI

Bihar is considered the most self-respecting state in country. People of Bihar can tolerate everything but they've never tolerated any deceit. In their last tenure, Nitish ji & BJP made several attempts (of horse-trading).

They may try as much as they want but won't be able to poach any Congress or Mahagathbandhan MLA. All our elected representatives know their responsibilities & want to give something good to people of Bihar. I don't think any MLA of Mahagathbandhan will get lured.

Be it MP, Goa, Manipur, Karnataka or any other state, BJP runs series of horse-trading to come to power. Confident there'll be no such situation in Bihar. Situation on ground will be clear tomorrow & Mahagathbandhan will form govt with thumping majority.
