    2. Thanks. But I have a query. When I see electronic and print media in the last few weeks, predominantly they are indicating that NDA is not doing well in Bihar. In fact, some media persons like Rajdeep Sardesai or Choubey of CNN-IBN go to the extend of predicting Mahagatbandhan sweep. They have been projecting a negative scenario for BJP/NDA since the beginning of October. On the basis of what data, are they doing this?

    1. It is a close elections as I have mentioned in all posts and you must have noticed. It will boil down to each seat. Each seat has its own dynamics. NDA has an advantage and I feel and as I mentioned in the post in the afternoon NDA 127 MGB 111 & Others 5 will be final tally.

  28. Guys, Stop publishing non sense in the name of opinion / exit polls. Psephology is is its diapers in India and no amount of on-the-ground knowledge is sufficient to predict the outcome of complex elections like in India. Add to it, the Sickulars and Prestitutes that influence people’s mind in all possible ways. Let’s face it.
