• NDA is set to get 31 seats, like it did in 2014
• UPA is set to get 9 seats, 2 more than it got in 2014

• Despite gaining Nitish Kumar in it's fold, NDAs projection remains status quo with it's 2014 tally given fact that its 31 seats is t moving despite Nitish Kumar’s addition
• However, BJPs individually tally from 22 seats in 2014 has declined to a 16 seat projection in October 2018, which means that Sushil Kumar Modi’s own popularity in state has seen a significant decline

IMPORTANT TO TE:  At same time, while Nitish Kumar suffered heavily after storming out of NDA in 2014 and putting on board just 2 seats in 2014, JDU+RLSP+LJP combine is set to get 15 seats. This t only makes Nitish Kumar crucial factor to keep NDA afloat but also, emboldens Bihar Chief Minister to be an equal bargainer for seats given that JDU+RLSP+LJP itself is bringing 15 seats where BJP itself is pulling 16

• Coming to UPA story, while RJDs seat share set to increase from 4 to 8, Rahul gandhi’s own popularity is projected to decline by 1 seat. Taking INC tally of 2 in 2014 to just 1.  Which means that dynast Tejaswi has been able to improve his performance, dynast Rahul has failed
• Historically, Congress has recorded its worst ever performance in Bihar
