Patna : Pooh-poohing various survey reports projecting the outcome of the Bihar Assembly polls as a close call between the NDA and grand secular alliance, Union Chemicals and Fertilisers Minister Ananth Kumar today said the NDA will get a decisive mandate with a two-third majority in the state.
He had noted a consistency in the voting pattern of the electorate in states and at the national level to decisively vote for a particular party or alliance during the hustings and the trend will be the same in Bihar as well and in favour of the NDA, Kumar (in pic) told reporters here.
He trashed the survey reports which predicted a close call between the two sides.
“The people of Bihar, particularly youth and women, have voted for the NDA in large numbers during all four phases of Assembly polls and the pattern will continue in the fifth and final phase of polling in 57 seats on November 5,” he predicted.
“We have no doubt that the NDA will get a decisive mandate with a two-third majority that will enable us to end the 25-year rule by RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar,” Ananth Kumar, a key BJP strategist for the Bihar Assembly polls, said.
The minister said the Lalu Prasad regime had hurtled Bihar into chaos and backwardness during his party’s 15-year rule in which all institutions of governance had crumbled beyond repair, and this came to be known as ‘jungle raj’.
