Mahagathbandhan Takes Early Lead In Bihar, NDA Not Too Far Behind As BJP Makes Strong Start
Nitish Kumar and Tejaswi Yadav
The RJD led Mahaghtbandhan has taken an early lead in the Bihar Assembly Polls as it leads on 95 seats, as per data reported by Zee News.
The RJD leads on 71 seats and Congress leads on the remaining 23.
Most exit polls have called the election in favour of the Mahaghathbandhan, tipping Lalu Prasad Yadav's son Tejaswi as a favourite for the Chief Ministerial post.
If the results hold on, it would mean an end of Nitish Kumar's era at the helm of the Bihar administrative setup. Nitish Kumar has been the Chief Minister of the state since 2005 and has been credited with pulling the state out of the Jungle Raj which plagued Bihar in Lalu's time.

The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?

Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
