MGB IS LIKELY TO SEEK KEY POLL RECORDS FROM THE ELECTION COMMISSION BEFORE TAKING A CALL ON MOVING COURTS
The opposition Mahagathbandhan (MGB) in Bihar is weighing to challenge the results of the recently concluded Bihar assembly polls and as a first step, the alliance partners are likely to seek key poll records from the Election Commission before taking a call on moving the courts, functionaries said.
The MGB - comprising the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, and smaller allies, including Left parties - faced a crushing defeat in the Bihar polls, results of which were declared on November 14, winning only 35 of the 243 seats in the state. The ruling NDA swept the polls, held in two phases on November 6 and 11, winning 202 seats.
Congress general secretary Avinash Pande, who was also a party observer in Bihar, said: “We are also going deep into the process. We are going to demand all records for Bihar, as we did in Maharashtra and Haryana."
