Former Deputy Chief Minister of Bihar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in "depression" as the INDIA bloc is going to form the government after Lok Sabha elections.
"We are winning. The BJP is in depression. INDIA is going to form the government," Tejashwi Yadav told reporters on Saturday. The 40 seats in Bihar are undergoing polls in all seven phases. In 2019, BJP-led NDA swept the state by winning 39 out of 40 seats, while Congress won just one seat. RJD, a formidable force in the state failed to open its account. The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), the opposition coalition in Bihar, including Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and Left parties, recently announced that the RJD, its largest constituent, will contest 26 out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats. As part of the NDA, BJP and JD(U) will contest on 17 and 16 seats respectively. Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will contest five seats, and Jitan Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha will contest one seat each. Five Lok Sabha constituencies Bhagalpur, Banka, Purnia, Kishanganj, and Katihar went through polls in the second phase of voting on Friday. Out of 40 Lok Sabha constituencies in Bihar, four seats Jamui, Nawada, Gaya, and Aurangabad went to polls during the first phase of voting on April 19. (ANI)
