New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, the “Bihar elections 2020 have taught the world the first lesson of democracy. Today Bihar has told the world again how democracy is strengthened. PM Modi in a tweet in Hindi on Tuesday said that a record number of poor, deprived and women of Bihar also voted and today have also given their decisive decision for development”.

The Rashtriya Janata Dal won 75 seats. The BJP has won 72 seats and is leading in two. The Janata Dal United has won 42 seats and is leading in one, the Congress has won 19 seats and the CPI-ML has 12 seats. The Lok Janshakti Party has opened its account, winning one seat.

Prime Minister said the people of Bihar have made a “decisive decision” to give development a chance, as results of the assembly election continued to trickle in, showing the ruling NDA leading in 122 seats and the opposition alliance in 113 seats. The NDA reached the majority mark after 3 am. PM Modi’s tweets came minutes after Home Minister Amit Shah declared victory in Bihar for the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance, despite counting for 50 seats still taking place.

Modi in his tweet said, “the poor in villages, farmers, labourers, merchants, shopkeepers and every section of Bihar have relied on the NDA’s mantra of sabka saath, sabka vikas, sabka vishwas. I again assure every citizen of Bihar that for the balanced development of every person, every region, we will continue to work with full dedication.”

PM also said “Young people in Bihar have made it clear that this new decade will be for Bihar and self-sufficient Bihar is its roadmap. The youth of Bihar have relied on their strength and resolve of the NDA. This youthful energy has now encouraged the NDA to work harder than before. Every voter in Bihar has clearly stated that he or she is an aspirant and priority is only and only development. The blessings of the NDA’s good governance again after 15 years in Bihar shows what Bihar’s dreams are, what Bihar’s expectations are.”
