Bihar Election 2025 LIVE Updates: Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma is set to campaign in Bihar today (Friday) for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. According to the proposed schedule, the chief minister will embark on a one-day visit to Bihar to boost his party’s (BJP) campaign momentum, addressing a major election rally in Dumra, Sitamarhi. Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is on a three-day visit to poll-bound Bihar, is also likely to address a rally in Saran district and an intellectuals’ meet today, BJP leaders said.

Congress releases first list: The Congress late on Thursday released its first list of 48 names, hours before the end of the deadline to file nominations for 121 seats voting in the first phase. The most striking name on the list was of Amit Giri from Nautan (West Champaran). Till recently, Giri was associated with the RSS and is said to be close to BJP West Champaran MP Sanjay Jaiswal. The Opposition, Mahagathbandhan, is yet to arrive at a seat-sharing deal, which is causing the delay in the announcement of the candidates’ lists.
