Congress: 'No poaching possible'

Tej Pratap says 'Tejashwi gifted 'CM chair' on birthday' a day ahead of Bihar poll results

Will Tejashwi be the youngest CM?

Jubilant RJD supporters are looking forward to result day, with a poster referring to Mahagathbandhan's CM face - Tejashwi as the 'Youngest Bihar CM', seen in Patna on Monday. However, Tejashwi- who turns 32 today - will not be the youngest CM in the nation's history, if elected.  M.O.H. Farook became the youngest Chief Minister of Puducherry at the age of 29 years - in 1967.

If elected to power, Tejashwi will currently be the youngest CM in India. Currently, Arunachal Pradesh CM Pema Khandu (41) is India's youngest serving Chief Minister. Other young Chief Ministers include - Meghalaya's Conrad Sangma (42), Jharkhand's Hemant Soren (45), Goa's Pramod Sawant (47), Andhra Pradesh's Jagan Mohan Reddy (47), Uttar Pradesh's Yogi Adityanath (48). Other young CMs in the past include - Omar Abdullah, Sharad Pawar, Akhilesh Yadav, Prafulla Kumar Mahanta - to name a few.

Bihar Exit polls

With the crucial Bihar state assembly election results slated on Tuesday - 10 November, the Republic Jan Ki Baat Exit Polls have predicted the RJD-Congress-Left 'Mahagathbandhan trumping the JDU-BJP-HAM-VIP (NDA) alliance, ushering Tejashwi Yadav's maiden CM term.

Incumbent CM Nitish Kumar, who seeks a fourth consecutive term, faces a formidable battle from three coalitions and Chirag Paswan's LJP - RJD-Congress-Left's 'Mahagathbandhan', the RLSP-BSP-AIMIM- SJDD-SBSP's 'Grand Democratic Secular Front' and the JAP-ASP-SDP-BMP's 'Progressive Democratic Alliance'.

The Mahagathbandhan is projected to win 118-138 seats defeating the NDA which is projected to win 91-117 seats, LJP is projected to win 5-8 seats, while others are projected to win 3-6 seats. As per Republic Jan Ki Baat Exit Polls, the party-wise projections stand as such - RJD (79-91 seats), Congress (24-30 seats), Left (15-17 seats), BJP (60-75 seats), JDU (31-42 seats). While AIMIM is projected to win one seat, HAM and VIP are set to not win a single seat.
