Initial trends are giving the Grand Alliance of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar a thumping majority over Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party.
Today's Chanakya had predicted 155 seats for the BJP-led NDA and a mere 83 for the Grand Alliance of the Janata Dal-United, Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress.
The polls to the 243-member Bihar assembly took place in five phases between October 12 and November 5.
