Wishing Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar for the electoral victory in his state and Tejaswi Yadav for securing high number of seats, DMK president M K Stalin said the allegations about election malpractices were shocking.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Stalin said the Bihar elections conducted by the Election Commission of India amidst the pandemic have shown light on the strength of Indian democracy. At the same time, he said, the complaints by Mahagathbandhan of electoral malpractices in the elections were “shocking.”
“Every citizen of the country expects elections to be held in a free and fair manner. All stakeholders should realise that only if those expectations are met fully, the future of democracy in our country would be reaffirmed,’’ he said.
He congratulated Nitish Kumar for the poll success on behalf of DMK. tnn
