Patna, Nov 7 Counting of votes in the Bihar assembly elections, will take place tomorrow.
The counting for the 243 seats of the assembly will begin at 8 A M and the verdict for a majority of seats is expected by the early afternoon.
Most of the exit polls have predicted a close contest between the BJP-led NDA and the grand alliance of JD(U)-RJD- Congress with a slight edge to the Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led grouping.
However, two of them, including Today’s Chanakya and the one done by Hansa for NDTV, have given a clear majority to the NDA.
The five-phased elections saw the lead campaigners from both the sides trading bitter accusations that at times turned personal.
Modi had led the NDA charge by holding over 30 rallies while Shah held 85-odd public meetings.
As much as 56.80 per cent, the highest in assembly election in the state’s history, of the 6.68 crore voters have exercised their franchise.
