Patna The attempts of Rashtriya Janata Dal, Janata Dal United and Congress coming together in Bihar to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party-led National Democratic Alliance suffered a severe setback in the Bihar Legislative Council elections.
Putting up a good show, the NDA won 14 seats in the Legislative Council elections while the Nitish Kumar led alliance managed to win just 9 of the 24 seats in the state.
JD-U's candidate Reena Yadav has won from Nalanda seat and the party has also won from Muzaffarpur seat. Bharatiya Janata Party's candidate Sachidanand Rai won from Chapra and Aurangabad seat.
An independent candidate Ritlal Yadav, who is lodged in Beur jail here, is leading from the Patna seat.
Yadav, a criminal-turned-politician, is considered close to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).
The election for 24 seats of Bihar Legislative council were held on Tuesday with an estimated 94% voting recorded during the polls.
Altogether, 152 contestants were in the fray for the 24 council seats.
