US Edition'Vote Chori' Didn't Resonate with Voters, Congress Nearly Wiped Out From Bihar
Congress blames alleged electoral manipulation and vote theft for its worst Bihar assembly election performance since 2010, while the National Democratic Alliance won over 200 seats.
- On Friday, Bihar's counting produced an NDA sweep, the alliance ahead on 205 of 243 seats with the BJP emerging as the single-largest party.
- Congress said, `Without doubt, the election results in Bihar reflect vote chori on a gigantic scale- masterminded by the PM, the HM, and the Election Commission`.
- The detailed tallies show Rashtriya Janata Dal leads on just 25 seats, Congress on three, despite RJD’s 22 percent vote share surpassing BJP’s 20.9 and JD’s 18.9.
- The result immediately ends Tejashwi Yadav's bid for chief minister as HAM and VIP won four seats each while the Lok Janshakti Party secured only one seat, and Congress pledged a detailed study of the outcome.
- Opposition leaders vowed to prevent similar tactics in other states, promising sustained mobilisation and monitoring using PPTV and PDA Prahari to leave no stone unturned.
