Bihar Exit Polls Stir Debate: Predictions vs. Reality
Exit polls predict NDA will win between 133 and 167 seats in Bihar's 243-member assembly, indicating a clear majority ahead of official vote counting on Nov 14.
- On Tuesday , nine exit polls projected a decisive majority for the National Democratic Alliance , though Congress MP Tariq Anwar called this forecast speculative.
- Counting of votes will take place on November 14, after which the Election Commission will declare official results; exit polls are post-voting surveys reflecting voter sentiment before results.
- Several polls — Matrize, People’s Insight, Chanakya Strategies, JVC, TIF Research-NAI, DV Research — show NDA seat ranges like 147-167, 133-148, and 135-150, indicating a broad NDA advantage.
- A majority requires 122 seats, with the 2020 assembly polls showing NDA secured 125 seats and Mahagathbandhan 110, deciding if Nitish Kumar retains power or Tejashwi Yadav mounts a comeback.
- Given 2020’s mispredictions, voter turnout of 64.69% on November 6 and 68.52% on November 11 highlight high participation, despite exit-poll uncertainty, as the Election Commission cautions.
