Lok Sabha Elections 2024 News LIVE Updates: India anticipates results of record-breaking elections

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar met Prime Minister Narendra Modi here on Monday, a day before the Lok Sabha poll results will be out.

There was no official word on the details of the meeting.

Kumar's JD(U) is part of the BJP-led NDA and is seen as a declining, though still significant, force in the state amid strong efforts by the RJD to challenge the ruling combine.

The chief minister has been at the helm in Bihar since 2005 except for a brief period but there have been some questions over his future as the BJP and the RJD are the two biggest parties in the state. 

India created a world record with 64.2 crore voters, including 31.2 crore women, participating in the Lok Sabha elections this year, Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar said on Monday.

Addressing a press briefing, he said over 68,000 monitoring teams and 1.5 crore polling and security personnel were involved in the world's largest electoral exercise.

"India created a world record with 64.2 crore voters, including 31.2 crore women, participating in the Lok Sabha elections this year," said Kumar.

On social media memes calling election commissioners 'Laapataa Gentlemen', Kumar said, "We were always here, never went missing." "Now memes can say the 'Laapataa Gentlemen' are back," he said.
