Patna: The five-phased Bihar elections will test a coalition of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's JD(U), Lalu Prasad's RJD and the Congress against the BJP and its allies.

Ravi Shankar Prasad, Union Minister of Information Technology, on Bihar results:


  • I wish them (Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar) well for my state and hope they deliver.
  • I am at a loss to understand the enormity of the defeat.
  • The percentage of vote of Lalu Ji and Nitish Ji has come together very well.
  • Only point is I expect today if we are gracious today in defeat, Congress should be gracious in victory, even though it came due to Lalu Ji and Nitish Ji.
  • Our tragedy is that if we win, then people say that the communal card worked. If we lose, then some experts say the same card failed.

RJD's Manoj Jha on Bihar results:

  • If you look at results, our strike rate is much higher.

Sambit Patra, BJP on PM's Bihar campaign


  • This accusation that PM held 27 rallies in Bihar has been repeated by the Opposition.
  • We have the head of the family who is campaigning, what is wrong in that?
  • Tell me a single word that the PM uttered that was unparliamentary?
  • Look at the words used by Lalu Ji, but at the end of the day he won.
  • Mahagathbandhan tried to rake up some issue in a political way that were not the issues
  • RSS and BJP did not want to do away with reservation, but the Grand Alliance portrayed it like that.
