Former Deputy Chief Minister Tarkishore Prasad continues to maintain his lead in Katihar as the counting process intensifies. As per the latest figures released at 10:45 AM, Prasad has secured 13,031 votes, holding a lead of 2,874 votes over his nearest competitor.
Katihar has historically been a prestige seat for the BJP, and Prasad’s performance reaffirms the party’s strong foothold in the region. Despite the constituency’s multi-cornered contest, Prasad’s margin has remained stable, reflecting continued support among traders, youth voters, and traditional BJP loyalists.
While the lead is not among the largest for the BJP today, Prasad’s consistency signals a comfortable path ahead as counting continues. Final outcomes will depend on the later rounds, but the current trends clearly favour Prasad in retaining Katihar for the BJP.
