Winning candidates in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections secured a wide range of votes, from 60,000 to 1.5 lakh, Election Commission (EC) officials said on Wednesday, amid social media speculation about unusually similar vote counts for several BJP leaders.
Several political figures and members of the public had noted the “coincidence” that multiple victorious BJP candidates appeared to have secured votes around the 1.22 lakh mark. Some even suggested that the Election Commission had ensured BJP candidates garnered nearly identical vote totals.
Citing official data, EC officials countered these claims, stating that winning candidates received votes “across the entire spectrum”.
