As the poll trends for the Bihar Assembly Elections swung in the favour of the Grand Alliance, politicians across parties had a lot to say about the developments. A look at who said what...
“ I congratulate people of Bihar, I think we will get close to 150 seats. JD(U) on trends showing Mahagatbandhan leading “ - Sharad Yadav
Heartiest congratulations on a well deserved victory Nitish Kumar sahib. Your victory will prove critical for the nation in the days ahead. - Omar Abdullah
Congratulations to Nitish Kumar on “historic victory”. - Arvind Kejriwal
Congratulations @NitishKumar ji, Lalu ji & your full team. And all my Bihar brothers & sisters. Victory of tolerance, defeat of intolerance - Mamata Banerjee
Party leader and Union Minister Ram Kripal Yadav said it was up to the top brass to analyse the results.
BJP leader Prakash Javadekar maintained that the fight remained close and was hopeful that they could still turn it around
in the later phases of counting.
When Congress loses then its Sonia ji's responsibility,similarly BJP must accept that #BiharResults is Modi ji's responsibility-Sanjay Raut
Every election is a learning curve for all political parties, will accept whatever the final result is - MA Naqvi,BJP
The result of the Bihar Polls will matter most to one person, Mr Narendra Modi. No PM before him has campaigned so extensively &aggressively. Mr Modi also presumably believes that it is his campaign that won the elections for the BJP in 2014 and subsequently in several states. Mr Modi threw everything in his armoury into the Bihar elections. He threw in money, human resources, ads, invectives and innuendos. Mr Modi has two choices. He can return to being a whole-time PM & devote the whole of his time and energy to advance the development agenda. Alternatively, he can be the Prachar Mantri and devote practically the whole of his time to winning elections for the BJP. - P.Chidambaram.
