Celebrating the lead by the Grand Alliance according to the early trends in the countdown to the Bihar Assembly election results, the Congress on Sunday said the lead indicated that BJP's 'communal' politics has been rejected and the people have voted for 'inclusive development and social justice'.


"The BJP and their alliances were doing destruction in the name of development. They were trying to play communal politics but have received a strong retort by the people of Bihar. People here are aware of the sense of fear that has gripped the nation and are aware of what has happened in Dadri and Faridabad," Congress leader Sanjay Jha told ANI.


He asserted that this 'significant result' should warn the government that they can't afford to function like a 'dictatorship' in this nation. "We have seen that while polls were happening in Bihar, the BJP and the NDA has been trying to polarise the country only for an electoral advantage but Bihar has chosen to reject communal politics and vote for inclusive development and social justice," Jha said.


Adding that the verdict showed 'extraordinary significance', the Congress leader exuded confidence saying that the Mahagathbandhan's numbers will show a larger lead in the end and that this was a major loss for both the Prime Minister and the BJP.


"This is an absolutely profound verdict considering the Prime Minister made 35 rallies instead of governing the county, clearing indicating the 'Modi wave' is long over. People are tired of 'jumlabaazi and bayaanbaazi', they want 'kaamkaazi'. They want result and work instead of spinning yarns," Jha added.
