Paliganj, Bihar: Voting for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 is underway, but a brief incident at Maner Assembly constituency drew attention when RJD candidate Bhai Virendra clashed with security personnel at Booth No. 79, alleging administrative bias. The altercation caused a temporary disruption at the polling station before authorities restored order.
Incident at the Booth
Bhai Virendra, accompanied by his wife, arrived at the polling station to cast his vote. After voting, he confronted security staff, reportedly saying, “Dekh lenge, tum hote kaun ho” (“We will see who you are”), accusing them of favoring a particular party. This led to a momentary commotion at the booth, but security personnel managed the situation and escorted the candidate outside, after which voting resumed normally.
Candidate Alleges Bias
Speaking to the media, Bhai Virendra claimed that security personnel were uncooperative and working in favor of a specific party. He alleged that at several booths in the Maner area, voters were being made to stand in the same queue even if there were four separate booths in a single premise, causing inconvenience and confusion.
Security Personnel Respond
Security officials dismissed the allegations as baseless, asserting that they were performing their duties impartially. They stated that the candidate’s actions were an attempt to influence voters and undermine the morale of the security staff.
Voting Continues Peacefully
Following the incident, election authorities increased security across multiple booths in the Maner constituency. Officials emphasized that polling has continued smoothly and assured immediate action in case of any irregularities.
