A day earlier than the declaration of the Assembly election outcomes, it was all fairly at the offices of the political events on Beerchand Patel Marg in Patna.
Leaders remained largely confined to their properties on Monday and refused to touch upon the election outcomes. The man of the second, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief and UPA’s chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav, celebrated his thirty first birthday, a low-key affair at the residence of his mom Rabri Devi.

At the party headquarters of the ruling Janata Dal-United, a couple of workplace bearers sat discussing the exit polls which have predicted a dismal image for the party. “Why should we believe these exit polls?… You must remember the 2015 exit poll that went completely wrong…we’re coming to power again, our leader Nitish Kumar is going to be the CM for the fourth consecutive term,” stated one in every of them requesting anonymity. “I’m not authorised to speak to the media, you know,” he added by the use of rationalization.
Outside, at the gate, are enormous billboards and posters proclaiming “Nitish sabke hain [Nitish Kumar is of everyone].” But lacking was the row of automobiles normally seen parked outdoors.

The exit polls have projected a sub-par efficiency by Nitish Kumar-led JD(U), amid a powerful anti-incumbency wave throughout the State.
A couple of yards away, at the Opposition RJD workplace, the standard hustle and bustle have been lacking. A small group of office-bearers was seen sporting broad smiles.
“After a long time, smile has returned to the party office,” stated party chief and spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari. “And why not? Haven’t you seen the exit poll projections? But we knew even before, that people of Bihar have voted for a change this time, for a young leader like Tejashwi Yadav. Now it’s matter of a few hours and we will all know what is in fact a foregone conclusion,” he stated.

Meanwhile, birthday needs poured in on the social media for Tejashwi Yadav, extensively seen as the following Chief Minister of Bihar. Congress chief Rahul Gandhi, elder siblings Misa Bharti and Tej Pratap Yadav have been amongst those that wished Mr. Yadav a “bright future.”
Earlier, on November 9, RJD had tweeted advising party staff to not resort to “celebratory firing or uncivil behavior” in opposition to their rivals on outcomes day. “Whatever the election results are on November 10, it has to be accepted with absolute restraint, simplicity and courtesy,” stated the tweet.

At the BJP and Rashtriya Lok Samata Party offices too, there have been only a few individuals shifting about. Big hoardings and billboards displaying Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s picture have been occupying all the house on partitions outdoors the BJP workplace. The Lok Janshakti Party workplace, close to the Patna airport, wore a abandoned look. There was just one office-bearer in attendance and a lone SUV parked outdoors. “Come tomorrow and you’ll see the rush here,” he stated earlier than shortly retreating inside. LJP led by party chief Chirag Paswan has been slamming Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and had put up candidates in opposition to the JD(U) to dethrone Mr. Kumar.
Topic of dialogue
Exit polls have been the new matter of dialogue among the many individuals in Patna too. “Whatever be the result tomorrow, whether Tejashwi Yadav or someone from the BJP becomes the Chief Minister, one thing is clear — that Nitish Kumar’s return for a fourth term seems well-nigh impossible,” Rajesh Kumar, an engineer-cum-businessman of Kankerbagh space of Patna instructed The Puucho, sipping tea at a roadside stall close to Gayatri mandir (temple).
His pals nodded in settlement. “Change is always good for democracy,” they stated.
