Speaking to ANI, Anwar said: “Our performance was not as good as RJD and Left. They performed much better than us. If we had acted like them, there would have been a Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar. The people of Bihar wanted it. himself and had made a decision for a change. ”
Anwar further stated that the party needs to think very deeply about this matter.
“We will hold talks with our top leadership in Bihar, our electoral candidates and our Congressional District Committees, and we will reach a conclusion. We will then report to the High Command,” he added.
