"NDA will return with a clear majority, Rahul Gandhi will.....": Maharashtra Minister ahead of counting of votes in Bihar

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 13 (ANI): Ahead of the counting of votes in Bihar, Maharashtra Minister Chandrashekhar Bawankule on Thursday said that the NDA will return to power with a "clear majority" under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will "regret" the poll results.
"... The NDA will return in Bihar with a clear majority under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi and other senior party leaders. After the election results, Rahul Gandhi will regret it and once again begin criticising the government and the country on global platforms," Bawankule told reporters here.
To a query about the RJD MLC Sunil Kumar Singh over his "provocative" remarks, the BJP leader said, "Leaders must refrain from making provocative statements and engaging in divisive politics, as the public will not spare them. Also, blaming the Election Commission's process and questioning its integrity is not appropriate. Today, people want development rather than caste-based politics..." Bawankule told reporters.
Earlier, RJD Leader Sunil Singh had issued a strong warning to election officials, cautioning against any attempt to manipulate the people's mandate, otherwise "the same scenes witnessed on the roads in Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka will be seen on the roads of Bihar as well".
Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections result day on November 14, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday said that his party-led Mahagathbandhan alliance is poised to form the next government in Bihar with a "clear majority," dismissing exit polls that have predicted the NDA's victory.
Addressing a press conference in Patna, Yadav warned the officials that if the administration "acts on anyone's orders", then the public will take care of it.
"We are completely confident that we are forming the government with a clear majority... We will very comfortably win the election tomorrow. Our workers are at all the counting stations and are alert. If the Administration repeats their 2020 mistake again, or anyone crosses their limit, does something unconstitutional and unfair, and if any official acts on anyone's orders, then the public will take care of it," he said.
The exit polls predicted that the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is poised to form the government again in Bihar. (ANI)
