Should these numbers maintain, the NDA will establish a government in Bihar with Nitish Kumar, the state's longest-serving chief minister, returning for another term.

A hoarding declaring "Bihar Ka Matlab Nitish Kumar" (Bihar means Nitish Kumar) has appeared near the Chief Minister's residence in Patna.

BJP supporters brought a chariot featuring Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face as part of their celebration.
