NEW DELHI/PATNA: Till last reports came in, BJP led NDA is leading in 127 seats followed by RJD led Maha Gatbandhan leading in 105 seats while LJP in 3 and others in 8.
“When everyone is busy in Bihar results , Jharkhand & Telangana are throwing up biggest upsets of today’s Pan India elections . In all three seats @BJP4India is leading as of now,” BJP National general secretary , (Organisation) B L Santhosh@blsanthosh.
In early Bihar poll leads, the BJP seems to zoom ahead of its partner Nitish Kumar – who faces a massive anti-incumbency after helming the state for 15 years – the chief ministerial face of the ruling National Democratic Alliance. The early numbers suggest that the BJP is the gainer, while the JD(U) faces a stiff test.
Nitish Kumar’s party has always played the role of the senior partner in the Bihar alliance. However, if the trend carries on, there will be a reversal of roles. The BJP has never held the chief minister’s post in the state.
The Tejashwi Yadav-led Mahagathbhandan, which most exit polls have given an advantage, appears to be in a tight contest with the NDA.
