Bihar Exit Polls: NDA Set For Big Win, Prashant Kishor Draws Blank
The Bharatiya Janata Party and the Janata Dal United (and their smaller allies, including Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party) will record a comfortable win in the 2025 Bihar Assembly election, picking up 147 of the state's 243 seats, according to the combined data from multiple exit polls. The Rashtriya Janata Dal-led opposition alliance, which includes the Congress that grudgingly named the RJD's Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate, will finish a distant second with 90 seats. And, crucially, poll strategist Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party, seen as a dark horse that could play the role of kingmaker in a politically volatile state, is likely to crash on its electoral debut. Kishor's party is not expected to win more than one seat, at best.
