Advani Lashes Out At Those Responsible for Bihar Debacle

Comparing Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Amit Shah to Adolf Hitler, the Janata Dal (United) on Wednesday said the duo has hijacked its party. “The results of elections are not dependent on a single statement”.

While BJP general secretary Ram Madhav denied that Modi’s popularity is waning he stressed that party needs to learn from every election.

One of the most important things to take away from this election is that, for all intents and purposes, the Congress Party as a national force is dead, and all the freakish excitement created by them isn’t going to change that fact.

The newly-elected 243-member Bihar Legislative Assembly which has a meager strength of 53 members of the BJP has dashed the hopes of Mr Modi to get a majority in the Rajya Sabha in near future, thus thwarting his plans to effect major amendments in the Constitution of India.

Even BJP is no less as 139 of the party’s candidates contested in the polls and 37 of them won the battle.

Lalu also added that Nithish Kumar will be the chief minister for the next five years. People like him of course are blind to the fact that India bashing is no more part of Pakistani politics. The Minister said the victory of grand alliance in Bihar was the victory of truth, unity and honesty which had shown a new direction to the country. The winning alliance comprised JD(U), RJD and Congress.

“I am one of the happiest men after yesterday’s Bihar results”. As Shekhar Gupta remarked in the NY Times, “Modi is beatable”. The latent communal tensions have erupted in violent religious extremism on the watch of the BJP guided by the custodian of its Hindutva ideology, the RSS.

Party rebel Shatrughan Sinha promptly congratulated the Grand Alliance, saying that the issue of “Bihari versus Bahari” had been settled.

The BJP office in New Delhi was deserted on Monday with workers compiling newspaper clippings on the election defeat in Bihar. Opposition and regional politicians in India, including the Indian National Congress’ Rahul Gandhi and the Trinamool Congress’ Mamata Banerjee, have already cited the outcome in Bihar as a befitting effect of the BJP’s political proclivities.

Srinagar: CPI (M) leader Muhammad Yousuf Tarigami and Peoples Democratic Front Chairman Hakim Mohammad Yasin have complemented the people of Bihar for the resounding defeat they have given to the RSS-led NDA alliance in the elections.
