True, Lok Janshakti Party may have affected JD (U) count, says Bhupendra Yadav

What do you attribute as factors that helped your victory in Bihar?
The leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the confidence expressed by the people of Bihar in his ability to deliver Aatmanirbhar Bharat was an important factor. President of BJP JP NaddaHeeThe leadership of all party workers to go among the people and help them in a difficult situation like the COVID-19 pandemic kept the support of the people with us.

The performance of all our allies, the Janata Dal (U) [JD(U)], the Hindustan Awam Morcha and the Vikashsheel Insaan Party, also contributed to the victory.
You are now the senior partner of the NDA in Bihar and there is a feeling in the JD (U) that they found it difficult because Chirag Paswan’s party cut their votes and reduced their count. The BJP was found to have made no effort to stop Mr. Paswan.
It is true that the Lok Janshakti Party [LJP] It may have affected the JD (U) count, but the BJP has been very firm during the election, through statements from our highest leadership, that we disapprove of this LJP measure. Interior Minister Amit ShahHee He also stated the same in very simple words. We made it clear throughout the polls that the NDA was fighting as one and we have been elected for the fourth time … this shows that the people trusted us.

Are there any doubts about Nitish Kumar’s continuity as Chief Minister of Bihar, as the BJP has far surpassed the JD (U) in the tally?
No, there are no doubts. During the campaign it was said that Nitish Kumar would be the prime minister if the NDA won, and that remains the case.
The opposition Mahagathbandhan he has accused district officials of helping count fraud in up to two dozen seats. Your answer?
That’s just childish behavior and [they’re] be a sore loser. The electoral system is full of checks and balances, with out-of-state observers overseeing the entire process. A large part of the voters, women and ordinary people, supported the NDA, and that must be respected. We respect the seats that the Mahagathbandhan got too.
How do you see the future of Chirag Paswan within the NDA in the future?
It is not I who should ask this question. I am not an astrologer to see your future, but I know that your own future has ended.
