BIHAR - Nitish on a strong wicket

Bihar has already gone to the polls so this more of an exit poll (and not opinion). Reports from ground zero suggest that Laloo Prasad Yadav's bastion is under serious threat and ex-CM and rail mantri is looking at the prospect of sitting in the opposition both at the centre as well as the state for the 1st time in 2 decades. The Nitish Kumar led NDA govt. in Bihar has got rave reviews from the media folk and is slowly but surely turning Bihar around from a impoverished and famine hit state to a state that is showing some signs of a recovery. So desperate is Laloo that he has had to align with with one-time bete noire Ram Vilas Paswan and in doing so has alienated congress which has decided to contest all 40 seats of the state. The UPA is a divided house in the cow belt region and this is playing into the hands of the NDA. Congress will be lucky to get even 1 seat in Bihar.

Seat projection:-

TOTAL Seats - 40

NDA:
BJP - 12
JD(U) - 19

4th Front:
