'The Tiger is Alive': Hitendra Thakur
Addressing the media after the victory, BVA supremo Hitendra Thakur credited the success entirely to his grassroots workers. "It is not 'Thakur Zindabad,' but the 'Karyakarta (Worker) Zindabad.' I have proved once again that elections can be won on the strength of dedicated workers," he said.
Thakur further claimed that the party would have crossed the 100-seat mark if not for technical hurdles. "If there hadn't been issues with the voters' list, slow voting processes, and malfunctioning EVMs, we would have surpassed 100 seats. Big leaders and actors came here to defeat me and gave false promises, but the workers showed their love and loyalty. My workers are great; I bow before them. Because of them, I have survived, and 'Tiger Zinda Hai' (The tiger is alive)," Thakur added.
