Bihar Assembly Election 2020 is a direct contest between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan, or the 'grand alliance'. In Mahagathbandhan, the RJD is contesting in 144 seats, the Congress in 70, and Left parties in 29. In the NDA, the JD(U) is contesting in 115 seats and the BJP in 110.
 
A majority of the exit polls had projected that the Tejashwi Yadav-led Mahagathbandhan might have an edge over the NDA. However, if the initial trends are to be relied upon, the pollsters have got the Bihar result wrong once again.

The Bihar Elections 2020 were held in three phases, first covering 71 constituencies was held on October 28, second covering 94 constituencies was held on November 3rd and the third and the final phase covering 78 assembly constituencies was held on November 7.
