Reactions: Chidambaram

December 23, 2019 17:33

Former union minister P Chidambaram on Monday thanked the voters of Jharkhand for going with the coalition of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal and added that the election results have shown that the BJP is "slipping" nationwide.

"Dented in Haryana, denied in Maharashtra, defeated in Jharkhand. That is the story of the BJP in 2019. All non-BJP parties must raise their sights and rally around the Congress to save the Constitution of India," Chidambaram tweeted.

"I thank the people of Jharkhand for this victory. In Haryana, they (BJP) won with a very little leading, while in Maharashtra they tried to grab the seat via back door but continuously they are slipping down," Chidambaram told reporters.

The three parties seem all set to cross the majority mark of 41 in Jharkhand, according to trends now. The ruling BJP appears to be sliding in numbers compared to earlier trends and was leading on 25 seats. It has won two seats.
