New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Friday described the Bihar Assembly poll outcome as “truly surprising”, asserting that the Opposition “could not secure victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning”.
In a post on X, Gandhi thanked the voters who supported the Mahagathbandhan and said the Congress and the INDIA bloc will carry out a detailed review of the results.
“I express my heartfelt gratitude to the millions of voters in Bihar who expressed their trust in the Mahagathbandhan. This result in Bihar is truly surprising. We could not achieve victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning,” he wrote.
Calling the contest a fight to “protect the Constitution and democracy”, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said the alliance would “conduct an in-depth review” and undertake “more effective efforts to save democracy”.
The NDA swept the Bihar assembly polls, leading in more than 200 of the 243 seats, with the Bharatiya Janata Party emerging as the single-largest party, recording nearly a 90 per cent strike rate.
