Bihar Election Results 2025: Suspense Mounts As Nitish's 'Tiger' Message Clashes With Predictions

On this special report, India Today's panel analyses the high-stakes battle for Bihar on the eve of the 2025 assembly election results. The discussion centres on the psychological messaging from the incumbent NDA, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, with posters declaring 'Tiger abhi zinda hai' appearing in Patna, versus the Mahagathbandhan's hopes, led by Tejashwi Yadav. Senior journalist Javed Ansari offered a sharp critique of the opposition's strategy, stating, 'I earlier said in one of Rajdeep's programs, it was poor political management. But I'm changing my view now. It could well turn out to be suicidal.' The panel weighs exit poll predictions favouring the NDA against Bihar's history of delivering electoral surprises, setting the stage for a tense counting day.
