Bihar Election 2020 | RJD alleges poll fraud, says its 119 winning candidates denied certificates

Even as the counting for votes continues with Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) leading in the Bihar Election 2020, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), which heads the Mahagathbandhan, or Grand Alliance, has alleged that its winning candidates have not been issued winning certificates yet.

"This is a list of 119 seats where the Grand Alliance candidates have won after the completion of counting. The returning officer congratulated them  for their victory, but now he is not giving the (winning) certificate, saying that you have lost," the RJD tweeted from its official handle, attaching a list of the 119 candidates.

ये उन 119 सीटों की सूची है जहाँ गिनती संपूर्ण होने के बाद महागठबंधन के उम्मीदवार जीत चुके है। रिटर्निंग ऑफ़िसर ने उन्हें जीत की बधाई दी लेकिन अब सर्टिफ़िकेट नहीं दे रहे है कह रहे है कि आप हार गए है। ECI की वेबसाइट पर भी इन्हें जीता हुआ दिखाया गया। जनतंत्र में ऐसी लूट नहीं चलेगी। pic.twitter.com/puUvIagyDz
