We got people’s support but NDA achieved victory in Bihar assembly election through money, muscle and deceit, alleges RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday hit out on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) claiming that it gained the meeting election by way of cash, muscle and deceit (dhan, chhal and bal), including that his social gathering acquired the assist of the individuals. Tejashwi was elected the chief of the Grand Alliance legislature social gathering.
Addressing a press convention, he mocked Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, whose JD(U) has been relegated to the third place by way of seat tally, and questioned whether or not the latter would “heed his conscience and give up his attachment to the chair”.
He was clearly referring to Kumar resigning and snapping ties with the Grand Alliance earlier than returning to the NDA fold in 2017 after Tejashwi’s title had cropped up in a cash laundering case. Kumar had then mentioned he was stepping down after heeding his conscience (atma ki awaaz).
Asked whether or not the Mahagathbandhan would attempt to muster numbers to type its personal authorities, he mentioned, “We will go to the people who gave the mandate. If they express such a wish we will act accordingly.”
Quoting election information, he claimed the NDA acquired solely 12,270 votes greater than the Mahagathbandhan. “How can it convert into their victory in 15 more seats than us? We believe that had the counting of votes been fair, we would have returned with a tally of more than 130 seats,” mentioned Yadav, whose coalition has gained 110 seats, 12 lower than the magic determine of 122. The NDA clinched 125 seats.
He mentioned his alliance will write to the Election Commission and level out the “discrepancies”. “In so many constituencies, postal ballots were counted in the end and not at the beginning of counting which is the norm. Moreover, there were seats where as many as 900 postal ballots were invalidated,” the RJD chief alleged.
“We suspect this was done to offset the support we had received from a large number of servicemen who were moved by our commitment to one rank, one pension scheme. We demand recounting of postal ballots in all such constituencies and the process be videographed,” Yadav asserted.
