Assembly elections are going to be held in Bihar
There is a lot of hustle and bustle in the political corridors of Bihar at this time because only a few months are left for the assembly elections in Bihar. Although the dates have not been announced yet, these elections are expected to be held in October or November.
Actually it is believed that the Election Commission can fix the dates of the elections keeping in mind festivals like Diwali and Chhath. In such a situation, it is also to be kept in mind that the term of Bihar Legislative Assembly is ending on 22 November 2025, so the election process must be completed before that.
The transfer of IPS officers on such a large scale before the Bihar elections has become a topic of discussion. In this, the most discussed is Patna SSP Avkash Kumar. Patna is the capital of the state and changing the SSP of the capital before the elections is not going down well with the people.
