The question that who will rule Bihar for the upcoming five years is yet to be answered. It will be clear within a few hours, who will form the next government, the present Chief Minister Nitish Kumar or his challenger in opposition, Tejashwi Yadav, son of former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav. The fate of all 3,755 candidates will be decided on Tuesday with the result of Bihar Assembly election 2020.
The result of exit polls was quite convincing as per all the past records where Bihar’s fate seems to be on the cusp of a generational transition in politics. The incumbent sixty-year-old Nitish Kumar-led alliance was predicted in the exit polls to be exiting from the power in Bihar and Tejashwi Yadav a 31-year-old seems to be emerging as the new rising son for the state of Bihar.
The accuracy of these exit polls will be tested today. Where the counting of votes has been started at 55 centres as per Election Commission’s decision, across 38 districts of Bihar.
