The first phaseI cast my vote in the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections (Jagdishpur constituency) and it was a proud and memorable moment for me as I was voting for the very first time. Standing in line with people from different backgrounds made me realise the true strength of democracy. The arrangements were smooth, and officials were very cooperative. Casting my vote gave me a sense of responsibility toward shaping Bihar’s future.I urge every eligible citizen to vote in the next phase and choose their candidates and parties based on their own judgment and beliefs. Let us vote wisely to build a stronger and better Bihar.Md. Sabir Hussain,Arrah, BiharWhat the people of Bihar need is not another round of familiar promises but a road map for progress. The State’s youth and diaspora have talent, energy and ambition, yet politics remains stuck in the old cycle of caste and populism.Rachita,ChandigarhPublished - November 07, 2025 12:24 am IST
