They also predicted a disappointing show by Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj in its debut outing, forcasting a range of 0-5 seats for it in the 243-member Assembly.

The Bihar polls were conducted in two phases on November 6 and 11, and the results will be announced on November 14.

The ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) appears set to form the government again in Bihar, according to exit polls as the high stakes polls came to close on Tuesday.

The surveys suggest that the opposition Mahagathbandhan (MGB) will fall short of the majority mark in the 243-member state assembly, while the Prashant Kishor-led Jan Suraaj, contesting its first assembly election, is unlikely to make a significant impact.
