With 243 assembly seats in Bihar, there had been moments of close calls and marginal leads in on-going counting process in the state that started on Tuesday morning. This is the first election held in the country after the outbreak of the pandemic.
The election was held in three phases starting on October 28 and ending on November 7.
The state’s NDA alliance has imposed a strong lead in the state against the opposition Lalu Prasad’s son and CM representative Tejashwi Yadav of the “Grand Alliance”, MGB.
However exit poll predictions and opinion polls show otherwise.
Exit polls are surveys taken outside a polling booth when a voter has completed their voting process, to predict the winning party.
The results of exit polls are not allowed to be published or leaked any time before the actual polls come to an end, so as to prevent people from casting biased votes as per the law.
These poll results were released after the actual voting booths closed on Saturday in the state.
These agencies conducted exit polls and opinion polls and their results are contradictory to what has been projected in the counting process.
