As trends change amid the ongoing counting of votes in the Bihar Assembly elections results, Union Minister and BJP leader Babul Supriyo mocked RJD led Mahagathbandhan on Twitter.
He said, "Tejaswi calls Rahul Gandhi & says: MGB = Mar Gaye Bhai !! and I am saying it very seriously, yes all puns are V much intended• How dare people on Jail & Bail think that Bihar will forget all that? After all it was them on the ground who went they the torture of the ‘Jungla Raj’?"
He went on to say, "CONgress, with a leader who’s political ideology is that of Shameless Lies&Deceit, will probably not even reach 25!!"
The ruling NDA in Bihar was ahead of its rivals in more than half of the state's 243 assembly seats, with the BJP appearing set to outperform its senior alliance partner JD(U) headed by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, according to trends available so far.
Tejashwi Yadav's RJD, projected in exit polls as the clear winner along with other Grand Alliance partners, was leading in 65 out of the 144 seats it contested, while the Congress, which had fielded 70 candidates, was ahead in only 21 places. Among other partners of the RJD-led Grand Alliance the CPI-ML was leading in 14, CPI (3) and CPI-M (2).
As trends from all 243 seats became available, the NDA constituents were ahead in 125, with BJP candidates leading the table in 72 seats and the JD(U) in only 47. The BJP had contested 110 seats as against the JD(U)'s 115. A party or coalition of parties needs 122 seats for a simple majority.
