assembly seats in the first phase and claimed that the party
would do exceedingly well in the ongoing polls in Bihar.
"We are enthused with high turnout at 53 per cent and
hope to do exceedingly well as all sections of the society
have voted for our candidates," the BPCC spokesman P C Mishra

Thanking the electorate for turning out in large
numbers, he said that the high voting per cent would do
wonders to the prospects of the Congress candidates in
subsequent five phases of polls.
