Patna, Oct 16 (IBNS): Polling is currently underway in the second phase of Bihar Assembly polls on Friday.

In this phase, around 86 lakh voters will decide the fates of 456 candidates.

Amid tight security, voting began at 7 am in 32 constituencies spread across six Naxal-hit districts of the state.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi urged voters to cast their votes  as he tweeted: "In the second phase of polling for the Bihar Assembly polls, I am urging voters to cast their votes."

Around 57 percent voters exercised their franchise in the first phase of polling for the Bihar Assembly polls on Monday.

Polling remained peaceful in the state which will witness  five-phased polling to elect a new assembly.

The battle for Bihar is being fought mainly between the the BJP-led NDA and the 'grand alliance' of the ruling Janata Dal(U), Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.
