Who will form the next govt in Bihar? Here are the numbers and alliance possibilities

The Grand Alliance has broken in Bihar. Nitish Kumar resigned as the Chief Minister of Bihar. The BJP is likely to give outside support to the JD(U). For a government to be formed in Bihar, the magic number is 122.

Nitish Kumar

Who will form the next government in Bihar? Will be a JD(U)-BJP combine or will the RJD and Congress take the support of the others to form the government.

Here is how the numbers stack up:

Total number of seats in Bihar 243
Magic number 122
RJD 80
BJP 53
JD(U) 71
Congress 27
Others 12

Here are the possibilities:

If the RJD and the Congress ally and manage to bag all the other 12 seats, then it would have 119 seats which is still 3 short of the magic number. The JD(U) on the other hand with the support of the BJP will have 124 seats, 2 more than the magic number.
