'Voter turnout indicates NDA leading in Bihar election, forming govt again,' says MP CM Mohan Yadav
Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav expressed confidence in NDA's absolute majority in Bihar polls, citing high first-phase turnout. He also critiqued Rahul Gandhi's visit, suggesting it signals Congress's defeat. The first phase saw a 65.08% voter turnout, a significant increase from previous elections, with the second phase scheduled for November 11.
Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav who is on Bihar visit for election campaign for the assembly polls on Saturday expressed his confidence that NDA would form the government again in Bihar with an absolute majority.
CM Yadav also emphasised that the first phase of the Bihar election which was held on Thursday (November 6) indicates that NDA was leading in the elections.
"The high voter turnout is an indication that NDA is leading in the elections. The NDA will be forming the government in Bihar again with an absolute majority. The way our party formed the government in Delhi under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, our government will be formed here again," CM Yadav told ANI.
Additionally, the Chief Minister jibed at Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) Rahul Gandhi on his visit to Madhya Pradesh on Saturday saying that if a leader leaves his party in this condition in the election field (Bihar election), then it means that he has already accepted his defeat.
"If he (Rahul Gandhi) is spending his holidays leaving the Congress in the lurch, then it is a matter of concern for the Congress party and its leaders. If he has come to our state, then he is our guest and I welcome him, but with great regret I have to say that if a leader is leaving his party in this condition in the election field, then it means that he has already accepted his defeat," CM Yadav said.
