Katihar Assembly Election Results:
2010 Assembly elections results:
Election Result: BJP may retain Katihar due to resurgence of NCP and Congress which may impact RJD chances. RJD candidate lost by just 116 votes only in 2005 but NCP may split Muslim vote bank as LJP did in 2005.
Surprising point: 27% of voters are muslims but no major party fielded a Muslim candidate. NCP fielded a Muslim candidate.
