Patna, Nov 12 (IANS) After exit polls predicted a clear majority for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha on Wednesday expressed confidence that the alliance will return to power in the state.
Addressing the media in Patna, Sinha said, “I thank the people of Bihar for showing faith in the development programs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. People have voted against the corruption and ‘jungle raj’ of the Grand Alliance. RJD and Congress made false promises which were far from reality. The people of Bihar have taught a lesson to the two ‘Yuvrajs’ – Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav – in this election.”
Responding to questions from Grand Alliance leaders rejecting the exit poll trends, Sinha commented, “November 14 is not far – just a day away. Once the results are declared in favor of the NDA, they will have no option but to accept it. They are already blaming the Election Commission, EVMs and officials. Now they are looking for excuses, which clearly shows that they know they are losing.”
Taking a dig at the opposition leaders, Sinha said, “After losing the elections, both ‘Appu’ and ‘Pappu’ will go abroad to express their disappointment.”
Reacting to the huge turnout, Deputy Chief Minister Sinha said the people of Bihar have set an example for the rest of the country by enthusiastically participating in the “festival of democracy”.
He said, “The voters of Bihar have shown that they believe in the power of democracy. This is also a reply to those who raised questions on the Special Intensive Review (SIR) process and alleged vote theft. The people of Bihar stand firmly with the Election Commission.”
He said that the voting percentage in the 2025 assembly elections was much higher than the previous elections.
He said, “During the 2020 assembly elections, the voting percentage was around 57 per cent, and this time it has reached almost 67 per cent – an increase of 10 per cent. This is a sign of a strong democracy in Bihar.”
Referring to the recent blasts in Delhi, Sinha said, “When educated people indulge in such destructive acts against the country, it is extremely worrying. However, the central government is fully capable of dealing with such situations and the culprits will not be allowed to escape.”
