Bihar election results show no reflection of people's desire: RJD

The Opposition RJD, which won only 25 out of the 143 seats it contested in the Bihar Assembly elections, on Monday claimed that this mandate did not reflect people's desire and the party may move court as there were “irregularities in the EVMs”.

Not just the RJD, the entire Opposition Bloc led by it suffered a crushing defeat in the polls, as the BJP-led NDA emerged victorious, winning 202 seats in the 243-member Assembly, and returned to power.

“The mandate of the Bihar polls did not resonate with the situation on the ground. Despite the anger of the people towards the government, they have got such a mandate. People and politicians are not able to digest this,” RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh said.

All the RJD candidates who contested the polls attended the meeting, and one of them said the party is mulling moving to court.
