Exit Polls May Give NDA the Edge, But Tejashwi Predicts 160-Plus for Mahagathbandhan in Bihar
As Bihar gears up for its final election results, exit polls released on Tuesday project a narrow lead for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). However, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav has expressed unwavering confidence, predicting that the Mahagathbandhan will secure over 160 seats, challenging the poll narratives.
Despite most surveys giving the NDA a comfortable edge, Yadav told reporters in Patna that the “real verdict” will shock many analysts and reflect the youth’s and farmers’ desire for change. He emphasized that the alliance’s grassroots campaign, focusing on employment and inflation, resonated deeply with Bihar’s young voters.
“Exit polls don’t always reflect ground reality. Wait till the counting day. People have voted for jobs, justice, and a better Bihar,” Tejashwi Yadav asserted.
Exit Poll Trends: NDA Slightly Ahead
Most exit polls, including those by national networks, have placed the NDA in a leading position — projecting around 130 to 150 seats, while Mahagathbandhan is expected to get 90 to 110 seats. However, the tight margins suggest a potentially close contest, especially in key regions like Seemanchal, Mithilanchal, and Magadh.
Ground Sentiment and Voter Dynamics
Voter turnout in Bihar’s final phase hit a record high, signaling strong public engagement. Analysts believe this surge could either favor the ruling NDA or indicate a silent wave for Tejashwi’s alliance. The Mahagathbandhan campaign drew significant crowds, particularly among the youth and rural sections, who have been vocal about employment issues.
Tejashwi’s Confidence in the “People’s Mandate”
Tejashwi’s confidence stems from his consistent campaign promise — “Bihar mein badlaav hoga” (Change will come to Bihar). His focus on employment, social justice, and inflation control created a strong emotional connection among first-time voters.
Political observers say Yadav’s bold claim of 160-plus seats reflects his strategy to keep Mahagathbandhan workers energized and the narrative alive before counting day.
What’s Next for Bihar
With the official results just around the corner, Bihar remains on edge. Both alliances — NDA and Mahagathbandhan — are preparing for intense post-poll strategies. If Tejashwi’s prediction holds true, Bihar could witness a major political shift redefining its development agenda.
