"Tejashwi Yadav is going to become chief minister": Akhilesh Yadav

Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 12 (ANI): Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Wednesday slammed the exit polls predicting a win for NDA in the Bihar assembly polls and asserted that Tejashwi Yadav is going to become the chief minister after the conclusion of the assembly polls
"The people in Bihar have voted for change; Tejashwi Yadav is going to become the chief minister. To stop Mahagathbandhan, the BJP is deliberately getting exit polls done by their own people," Yadav told reporters here.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Mahagathbandhan's Chief Ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav alleged on Wednesday that there might be attempts to manipulate the Bihar assembly elections results by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ahead of the counting set to take place on November 14.
According to Yadav, the NDA will "make all attempts to slow down the vote count" and try to "strike fear among people" while trying to "murder democracy." He further criticised the Centre for the Delhi blast which took place recently near Red Fort, killing atleast 8.
"This time they (NDA) will make all attempts to slow down the counting of votes. They will create fear in District Headquarters. They will not do anything where a bomb blast takes place. But they will take out a military flag march across all districts in Bihar to murder democracy so that there is fear among the people," Yadav told reporters during a press conference here.
Several exit polls yesterday projected a win for the NDA in the Bihar assembly elections. The exit polls came out after the conclusion of voting in Bihar.
