Accept our defeat, will analyze: Congress leader Tariq Anwar
Conceding defeat, senior Congress leader Tariq Anwar said, 'We have lost. We will analyze and improve it. We will improve what we have learned in the coming days. There was no shortcomings at the central level. Rahul ji and Sonia ji gave their full support. We have to correct our mistake. Whenever Rahul ji was called, he came. It was our responsibility to take the Congress forward. The party lacked at the state level. This time Nitish will not be Sushasan Babu but a Kathputli Babu. He should not become Chief Minister on the basis of morality."
Public has rejected them: Giriraj Singh
BJP leader Giriraj Singh said, "Don't want to say anything on Tanveer Hasan's statement. Congress leaders took a dig at the BJP and advised JD(U). The leadership in the Congress and such people are immortal in Congress. Accusing the Election Commission of Bihar is useless. The public has rejected them. Many people came to the election field who were with the BJP and also with the JDU. This all happened this time. This is the time to review."
Congress 'extinguished the lantern': Shahnawaz Hussain
BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain said, 'On the auspicious occasion of Diwali, the people of Bihar have given this gift to Modi ji. NDA has the blessings of the majority of the people and the people of Bihar love it very much. Along with this, he also targeted the Congress and RJD alliance and said, 'Congress has done the job of extinguishing the lantern. Congress does it wherever it goes. Sank the Samajwadi Party in UP.
Besides, he targeted Tejashwi and said, "Tejashwi Yadav's accusation on Election Commission is irresponsible. The seats which have been won are also found only after counting of Election Commission. They will have to think why gave Congress so many seats. Why did they exclude HMA and VIP? Why gave egoistic statements? This is what they should be worried about. What will happen if you keep talking about 10 lakh jobs? The voter of Bihar has woken up. RJD should know that Nitish ji has 125 seats and he will become the Chief Minister. Our leaders are the same and they will take the oath.
Congress needs self-determination: Anurag Thakur
BJP leader Anurag Thakur said, 'Rahul ji should have worried about the Congress. Resentment is being generated within the Congress itself. Their vote bank is steadily decreasing. Congress is declining and these people only know the politics of appeasement. Before the election, they visit the temple. We are building a self-sufficient India under the leadership of Modiji. Congress should do self-determination."
He further said, 'Modiji is a popular leader of the country and the world. Bihar also acknowledged that Modiji helped them a lot, that is why there is love for Modiji in the country. Bengal too will not be left behind in this .. He will not be afraid of violence. Mamta ji, didn't even send the money forward which Modiji sent for disaster relied. Violence has no place in a democracy. You have to win by ballot and not by bullet.
