Patna: Counting for the Lok Sabha seat in Bihar's Araria and two assembly seats - Bhabua and Jahanabad began at 8 am. After over 20 rounds of counting in the three constituencies, the RJD emerged victorious in the bypolls winning both Araria and Jehanabad seats while the BJP got Bhahua. "Nitish Kumar cannot even repent publicly now," tweeted RJD's Tejashwi Yadav as the results were announced. The three constituencies went to poll on March 11 and was seen as a test for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar who exited the mahagathbandhan last year to walk with BJP to form government in the state. 

Araria saw a voter turnout of 57 percent, 54.03 in Bhabua and 50.06 percent in Jehanabad.
