"Gen Z of Bihar have voted for NDA and bid farewell to Thugbandhan": BJP's Jaiveer Shergill

New Delhi [India], November 14 (ANI): As the projections predict the ruling NDA's victory in the Bihar Assembly polls, BJP National Spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill on Friday said that the Gen Z of the state have voted for NDA and bid farewell to the "Thugbandhan's divisive chaos, confusion, provocative and inciting violence-loaded politics."
Speaking to ANI, Shergill said, "By noon, there will be a celebration in the BJP office and a lock on the office of the opposition. By the time Rahul Gandhi wakes up in the West, the NDA victory would have been declared and by the time he sees sunrise in the West, the Sun would have set on the opposition in Bihar. The Gen Z of the state have voted for NDA and bid farewell to the 'Thugbandhan's divisive chaos, confusion, provocative and inciting violence loaded politics which Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav are desperate to indulge into."
As the NDA takes lead, the BJP leader asserted, "People of Bihar have put a lock on the jungle-raj and they want 'Jan-Kalyan' politics."
Reacting to Congress MP Manickam Tagore's statement, Shergill said, "After the voter health audit was done, all the infiltrators, duplicate voting, Congress's vote bank which was in on bogus voting has been erased. Congress knows it can't defeat NDA government on performance, which is why they cry about 'Vote Chori'... It should accept the verdict and question Rahul Gandhi that the elections are fought by sipping coffee in Columbia and chilling in Panchmarhi? Or are they fought by working hard on the battleground in Bihar like the NDA did?"
As vote counting begins in Bihar, Congress MP Manickam Tagore on Friday alleged that vote deletion happened for voters who support the opposition, saying that democracy can't survive if the playing field is uneven.
"When you delete 65 lakh voters--mostly from the opposition's voters --what do you expect on result day? Democracy cannot survive if the playing field is tilted before the match even begins," Tagore posted on X.
As counting progresses for the Bihar Assembly elections, early leads indicate a strong and commanding lead for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), signalling what could be one of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's most decisive electoral victories.
The trends suggest that the renewed JD(U)-BJP partnership, backed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationwide popularity, is steering the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) toward a sweeping mandate of the 243-seat assembly.
The Nitish Kumar-led NDA has secured a combined total of 196 seats, with BJP leading in 88, JDU in 79, LJP 21, HAM 4 and RLM 4 as per data from the EC at 12:50 pm.
RJD leads in 31 seats, Congress leads in 4, CPI(ML) lead 5, while CPI-M 1 and VIP leads in 0 seats each, taking the total to 49, as per data from the EC at 12.50 pm. Additionally, the BSP leads in one seat, and the AIMIM in five seats. (ANI)
