Exit polls released on Tuesday predict a landslide victory for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in the Bihar assembly elections, securing between 130 and 209 seats in the 243-member House. The ruling coalition, comprising the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal-United (JDU), is expected to maintain its hold on power. In contrast, the opposition Mahagathbandhan (RJD-Congress-Left alliance) is projected to win between 70 and 103 seats. Debutant Jan Suraaj Party, founded by poll analyst Prashant Kishor and considered a potential 'kingmaker,' is forecast to secure a meager 0-5 seats. The exit polls, conducted by various agencies, reveal a mixed picture, but most predict a decisive victory for the NDA. The final results will be declared on November 14, after counting begins at 8 am under tight security arrangements. While the Chanakya and Axis My India exit polls will be released on Wednesday, the current projections suggest a clear edge for the NDA, with Prashant Kishor's party struggling to make a significant impact.
