NEW DELHI: Bihar’s assembly election results have delivered a sweeping win for the NDA government. The victory itself was no surprise, with exit polls already predicting a clear return to power for the National Democratic Alliance. What truly stood out, however, was not the win but the massive scale of the political shakeup that gave NDA a landslide victory, pushing its tally to a whopping 206 seats, in the 243-member assembly. The final numbers soared well beyond every exit poll estimate, highlighting once again how unpredictable Bihar can be. It also brings back a familiar question: just how accurate are exit polls? A poll of polls offered an averaged estimate of 148 seats, almost 60 seats less than the actual figures for NDA.
