Bihar Exit Poll Results 2025 Highlights: Axis My India predicts clear win for NDA in Champaran, Kosi, Bhojpur, but...

As per majority of pollsters, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party is likely to secure a maximum of 5 seats.

Today's Chanakya has also predicted a landslide victory for NDA, projecting it will secure 148-172 seats.

Although majority of the exit polls have predicted a clear win for NDA, Tejashwi Yadav of MGB has been leading the CM race according to surveys by Axis My India and Vote Vibe.

Today's Chanakya is scheduled to reveal their predictions today, Wednesday around 7:20 pm

According to Axis My India's exit polls, of the people surveyed in 10 categories — unemployed, students, labours and farmers favoured Mahagathbandhan; while skilled professionals, those in self-occupation or having small shops, housewife, those in private service and government service and others leaned towards NDA.

Axis My India has predicted that although the NDA will win the polls and form the government, the RJD has been predicted to come out as the single-largest party.

Axid My India's predictions have shown that while men are in favour of the MGB, women prefer the NDA. This likely stems from Nitish Kumar’s liquor ban in Bihar, which has earned him strong support among the women in the state.

Axis My India's forecast reveals that votes are divided in Bihar almost equally between the two chief coalitions when it comes to a geography-wise analysis. While the NDA edges out the competition with 43%, the MGB is slightly behind at 41%.

RJD leader and Mahagathbandhan CM face Tejashwi Yadav said, “We neither rejoice nor harbour any misconception over surveys. These surveys are just psychological pressure, brought under pressure by officers...”

RJD leader and Mahagathbandhan CM face Tejashwi Yadav says, "What is decided by PMO, what Amit Shah writes down for channels is run by the media. Compared with the 2020 elections, 72 lakh more people have voted this time...These votes were not to save Nitish Kumar but to change the government. This is Vote for Change...the government is going to be changed..."

RJD leader and Mahagathbandhan CM face Tejashwi Yadav held a press conference on Wednesday after exit polls revealed a landslide victory for the NDA in the Bihar Election 2025.

Tejashwi Yadav said, “...This time they will make all attempts to slow down the counting of votes. They will create fear in district Headquarters. They will not do anything where a bomb blast takes place. But they will take out a military flag march across all districts in Bihar to murder democracy so that there is fear among the people.”

“In 2020 elections too, people voted for change. But there was foul play and there was a margin of just 12,000 votes. This time, we will do a clean sweep. Mahagathbandhan will register a massive victory...This time, our people won't be scared. They will stop vote chori, protect democracy and will do whatever sacrifices are needed to be made. But foul play will not be allowed this time,” Tejashwi Yadav said.

Purnea MP Pappu Yadav on Tuesday dismissed exit poll predictions favouring the NDA, saying that the people of Bihar have voted for the Mahagathbandhan.

Speaking to ANI, Yadav questioned the reliability of exit polls, saying, "When was the exit poll correct? You are talking about the exit poll; I'm talking about the exact poll. You are saying that the vote has increased, but where has it increased? I believe that the people of Bihar have cast their votes for Mahagathbandhan."

RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari said, "Exit Polls have proven wrong in the past and will prove wrong in the future as well. I am fully confident that on November 14, the Mahagathbandhan and Tejashwi Yadav will win by a huge margin of votes... The people of Bihar have voted against the NDA government and have voted for Tejashwi to form the government. Let those who are under a delusion after seeing the exit polls remain so. Truth can be troubled, but not defeated. The government of Mahagathbandhan and Tejashwi Yadav will certainly be formed in Bihar..."

The public has faith that the future of Bihar is safe in the hands of PM Modi and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar...The relations between the RJD and Congress in the 'Mahalathbandhan' are well known.

Our government has made sustained efforts in the field of women’s empowerment.”
