On the counting day for the Bihar assembly election on Tuesday, many vendors were seen near the residence of Mahagathbandan chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav, trying to encash on the increased footfall. From ice cream vendors to sugarcane juice sellers, even mobile shops near the residence reaped profit due to the increased numbers at the site.
After the exit polls unanimously predicted a high vote count in favour of Tejashwi Yadav-led Grand Alliance, supporters and well-wishers queued up to wish the 31-year-old Chief Ministerial candidate.
Supporters of Tejashwi gathered outside his residence ahead of the result declaration of Bihar assembly constituencies. A father-son duo from Samastipur village came all the way to Yadav’s residence in Patna along with fish.

“As fish marks ‘good luck,’ we have brought it. This time, people want a change, therefore it’s 100 per cent sure that ‘Mahaghatbandhan’ will win,” Kundan Kumar Sahni told ANI.
RJD supporters held Tejashwi Yadav’s picture and stood outside his residence.
