Bihar elections: Exit polls divided over results

The battleground in Bihar is prepping up for the last big fight. With the election results slated for November 8, exit polls are still in a tizzy.

While some are betting on the Narendra Modi led NDA party to form the government in majority, there are a few other polls that projected a clear win for Nitish Kumar-Lalu Yadav’s Maha Gathbandhan (grand alliance) of Rashtriya Janta Dal, Janata Dal (United) and Congress.

For instance, Today's Chanakya-News24 has projected 155 seats out of 243 assembly seats for the NDA, thus giving it a majority. The poll has predicted the remaining 83 going to Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav’s grouping.

On the other hand, Nielsen’s poll on ABP , CNX on NewsX has predicted victory for JDU-RJD-Congress grouping with 130 and 135 seats respectively. They expect NDA to get 108 and 95 seats respectively.

Lastly, there are other exit polls such as CVoter on Times Now, Cicero on India Today and News Nation that have forecasted a close finish.
