The meeting, attended by Congress Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru and state party chief Rajesh Ram, addressed the reasons behind the party’s poor performance in the state.
His comments came in the aftermath of his daughter Rohini Acharya’s allegation that the blame for the RJD’s drubbing in the recently concluded Bihar polls is being pinned on her.
Basically, the Rs 10,000 strategy complemented Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s reputation for women-centric policymaking, scripting the historic outcome in a state where the BJP had previously played runner-up.
The saffron party sees the Bihar results as a morale booster ahead of next month's local body elections in Kerala and the Assembly elections to be held in April/ May next year.
The elections, held in two phases, saw 71.78% female and 62.98% male participation, reflecting a festive atmosphere and robust voter enthusiasm, the polls panel said.
Speaking to the media here, he said compared to 2020, 72 lakh more people voted this time. In every assembly constituency, more than 30,000 additional voters turned out.
Mahagathbandhan's CM candidate, Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal has rejected the exit polls, alleging that these were conducted at the behest of the BJP. He said the exit poll results are only meant to create a psychological impact.
Speaking to reporters at the party office here, he said nearly half the voting took place in the first phase, and the public had made their stance clear. He said, "The people of Bihar want change, and the Grand Alliance will certainly win a majority."
Tejashwi further said that there is a gloomy atmosphere in the NDA camp, and those in power are scared.
