The Hindu, The Print, November 11, 12 reports, nine exit polls all favor the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) to win the Bihar state elections with an "absolute majority". On November 11, the second phase of voting in the Bihar Legislative Assembly election ended, and the final results will be announced on November 14. Analysts pointed out that the core focus of this election is the intense clash between the old and new "M-Y formula". The traditional "M-Y formula" centers around Muslim and Yadav communities, forming the solid voter base of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), accounting for 30%-35% of the total voters. The new "M-Y formula" focuses on women (Mahila) and youth (Yuva) groups, becoming a key strategy for the NDA to seize power. Looking at the campaign strategies of major forces, the NDA focuses on women's welfare and economic development, introducing policies such as a ban on alcohol and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) subsidies; the RJD relies on the traditional Muslim-Yadav vote bank, taking "solving employment" as its core proposition; while Prashant Kishor-led Janata Samajwadi Party (JSP) acts as a third force, attracting urban youth with anti-corruption as the main slogan, possibly diverting the RJD's vote bank. It is worth noting that the first phase of voting in Bihar on November 6 achieved a historically highest turnout of 64.69%, and the second phase exceeded 68.52%, indicating significant changes in this election.
