NDA leaders cheered fresh projections as Bihar exit polls indicated a clear edge. Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi thanked voters and praised six HAM candidates, calling them “six bullets in a sixer.” In his post, he repeated that Bihar exit polls reflect public trust. He framed each “bullet” as a strike on jungle raj, fear and bias, corruption, Dalit oppression, crime, and hatred. He said the NDA would drive development.
Manjhi’s metaphor sparked talk across Patna. He told supporters the numbers validated months of coalition work and booth-level reach. HAM leader Santosh Suman said the alliance could cross exit poll ranges with a bigger margin.
Major surveys forecast an NDA majority in the 243-seat Assembly. Estimates varied: Dainik Bhaskar put NDA at 145–160 seats; People’s Insight 133–148; People’s Pulse 133–159; JVC 135–150; Polstrat 133–148; Chanakya 130–138; P-Mark 142–162. Most showed the Grand Alliance trailing and Jan Suraj near zero to a few seats.
While final counting remains, NDA managers pushed a victory message and thanked first-time voters. Opposition parties rejected the numbers and urged supporters to wait for results. For now, Manjhi’s one-liner carries the day: six bullets, one sixer, and a promise to keep Bihar’s scoreboard moving. With confidence.
