High stakes battle between NDA and Mahagathbandhan
A high-stakes battle is at play between current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) and the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance and Tejashwi Yadav’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) as well as Congress-led INDIA bloc, better known as the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar.
Most exit polls have indicated a comfortable win for the NDA, projecting between 130-167 seats for them.
The Mahagathbandhan is projected to win anywhere between 73 and 102 seats, Mint reported, citing several exit polls.
Poll strategist Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, however, is set for a disappointing debut, with at least exit polls giving it between 0-7 seats, according to NDTV. |
