The Rajya Sabha polls in Bihar ignited a fresh wave of political drama on March 16. Amidst the voting process, NDA heavyweights repeatedly proclaimed their alliance’s triumph over all five contested seats, casting doubts on the opposition’s arithmetic.
Speaking to reporters, Union Minister Lalan Singh was categorical: ‘All five seats are ours. There’s zero uncertainty.’ He linked this success to broader NDA gains in upcoming state elections, foreseeing robust governance nationwide.
Jitan Ram Manjhi, another Union Minister, targeted RJD’s overconfidence. ‘Numbers don’t lie. If they’re short, how do they expect to win everything?’ he challenged, highlighting the alliance’s superior legislative support.
Minister Santosh Suman provided on-ground updates, noting full participation from NDA MLAs. ‘Our voting is complete, and success is assured. All candidates will prevail,’ he affirmed, emphasizing the coalition’s solid numbers.
On Tejashwi Yadav’s predictions, Suman retorted that clarity would emerge by day’s end. He stressed voluntary voting without external influences.
BJP’s Maithili Thakur, voting for the first time, described the vibrant scene inside the assembly. ‘Intensive sessions ensured no errors. Excitement is palpable everywhere,’ she enthused.
Support poured in from BJP’s Vinay Bihari and Gayatri Devi, JD(U)’s Shyam Rajak, and Minister Mangal Pandey, all vouching for NDA’s victory. With polls wrapped up, anticipation builds for results that could bolster NDA’s Rajya Sabha footprint significantly.
