Summary: This special report unpacks a new opinion poll on Bihar politics, focusing on the shifting popularity of key leaders like Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, and political strategist Prashant Kishor. Political analyst Manisha Priyam provides a sharp analysis, stating, 'the NDA today is somewhat leaderless, with Nitish almost in the sunset days of a fine political career'. The survey shows Tejashwi Yadav's popularity is significantly higher than that of nine-time Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
