As campaigning for the seventh phase of Lok Sabha polls came to an end in Bihar, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary expressed confidence that the BJP would win all 40 seats in Bihar, adding that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would come to power again.
Samrat Chaudhary said, "Lalu Prasad Yadav did not do any work in 15 years, that is why BJP has been fighting against Lalu Prasad Yadav's corruption in the past and is fighting even today. Today the election campaigning is over. The people of Bihar are going to give all 40 seats to Prime Minister Modi. The result will come on June 4 and Narendra Modi will become Prime Minister again." He further alleged that the RJD was involved in spreading wrong rumours on reservations. "RJD has only one policy and that is spreading rumours such that reservations will be cancelled. In 2015, they fought the elections on the same issue. Even then,, reservations were not removed. Lalu Yadav should explain when did he give reservations. He should tell the name of one section of society to whom he has given reservation. He is anti-poor and anti-reservation. For him, reservation is only that his family members hold the power. This is a party that is the symbol of hooliganism. Sitting in the CM House he used to plan how to extort money and now again he is trying the same thing," he further added. Earlier, former deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi has a backward and anti-Dalit mentality. "When we came to power in Bihar, we conducted a caste survey at the state's expense. You were also made aware of its reality. Prime Minister, in light of that survey, we increased the scope of the reservation to 75 per cent and kept requesting you again and again and with folded hands, demanded that you include it in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. But Prime Minister, basically, you have a backward and anti-Dalit mentality. You did not give any consideration to this important request of ours," he said. Elections in Bihar are contested in all seven phases. With 40 Lok Sabha constituencies, the fourth highest among all States and Union Territories, Bihar holds a crucial position in shaping Indian politics. In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the NDA, consisting of BJP, JDU (Janata Dal-United), and LJP (Lok Janshakti Party), secured victory by taking the lead on 39 out of 40 seats. (ANI)
