Delhi whispers
Barring one poll by a television channel, everyone is predicting a landslide win for the Nitish Kumar-led alliance in Bihar. But there is one group — always taken very seriously in India — that maintains Narendra Modi-led BJP is far ahead in the race. The group is made of punters from the betting world. In their recent bets, they have offered 115 seats out of 150 to BJP. On the other hand, Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) got only 44 seats and its new ally, the RJD, was getting bets for only 28 seats. Interestingly, BJP’s tally is rising every day in the world of betting.
