Campaigning for the third and last phase of Bihar Assembly election ended on Thursday (November 5) and the voting will be held on November 7. India is the second worst-hit country behind the United States by the coronavirus pandemic. While India has reported over 83 lakh cases, over 94 lakh cases have been reported in the US so far.

Donald Trump is locked in an intense battle against his Democratic challenger Joe Biden in the race for the White House as counting of votes continues in the US. As per the latest report, Biden appears set for presidency inching closer to the magic-mark of 270. Trump has repeatedly alleged fraud in the voting and counting process.
