Bihar :Bihar Election Exit Poll 2020: The three-phased Bihar Assembly Election 2020 concluded on Saturday after voting in the third and final phase on 78 constituencies ended. Polling in the first and second phases were held on October 28 (71 constituencies) and November 3 (94 constituencies). The counting of votes will take place on November 10. With election finally concluding today, all eyes were on the exit polls to know the mood of voters in the state. So going by the exit polls, then almost every one of them have shown Mahagathbandhan ahead of the NDA (JD-U, BJP, HAM, VIP alliance), predicting RJD-led Grand Alliance forming the next government in the state. The exit polls have also shown Lalu Prasad Yadav’s younger son Tejashwi Yadav as preferable choice for Chief Minister’s post over incumbent Nitish Kumar, who is nearing the end of this third term.
Doing a combined analysis of all the exit polls we have covered, then RJD-led Grand Alliance is clearly being seen forming the next government in Bihar with close to 141 seats (122 magic figure), while JDU-NDA may fall short of around 40 seats as according to Super Exit Poll, the alliance may get close to 88 seats. Exit polls also show a setback for the Chirag Paswan’s LJP as the party decided to party ways with the NDA and fought elections on its own. But, it has to be mentioned that these are exit polls and not the actual results as the seats tally projected in these polls may differ from that on the counting day on November 10
