Bihar’s ruling coalition and the opposition BJP held on to their seats as votes were counted for key polls seen to be a test for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s decision to swap allies and form a new government with Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD in August.<\/p>\n

The BJP is ahead in the Gopalganj assembly after 12 rounds, while the RJD appears to be holding on to Mokama after 10 rounds.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Gopalganj, BJP leader Kusum Devi is up against the RJD’s Mohan Gupta. The BJP candidate is the wife of former MLA Subhash Singh whose death necessitated the by-election.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the RJD, it is a prestige fight as Gopalganj is the home district of party chief Lalu Prasad.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In Mokama, the RJD candidate is Neelam Devi, whose husband Anant Singh’s disqualification over a corruption case made it necessary to conduct a byelection. She is up against the BJP’s Sonam Devi, who is the wife of strongman Lalan Singh.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mokama has been the stronghold of Anant Singh since 2005. He won the seat twice as a candidate of Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The BJP is contesting from the Mokama constituency for the first time; it had always left the seat to allies.\u00a0<\/p>\n
