Lalu flashes V-sign, says Grand Alliance will win 190 seats

“Despite the above direction of the Commission, certain advertisements of offending nature have been brought to the notice of the Commission, which have been published in a few prominent news papers in Bihar today, the 4th November, 2015”, the Commission said in a letter to the Chief Electoral Officer of Bihar.

Exit polls at the end of the fifth and final phase of polling for the 243-seat Bihar assembly on Thursday indicated an advantage to the Mahagathbandhan over the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), while the Chanakya has predicted otherwise. The remaining 10 seats will go to other parties. The CNX-NewsX exit poll has predicted that the JD(U)-RJD-Congress will get 130-140 seats while NDA will get 90-100 seats and others likely to bag 13-23 seats.

The BJP advertisement had questioned the chief minister’s “silence” on “repeated insult” to cows by grand alliance leaders as the animal is revered by the countrymen and asked Kumar to come clean on the issue and stop playing votebank politics on cow. Training his guns on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad, Modi said, “Today, when they have been caught (for purportedly having sought religion-based quotas), they are getting agitated and throwing at us the colour of communalism”.

“It is a desperate attempt by a fading dynasty to retain marginal relevance at a time when it is facing utter disaster in the Bihar elections”. Any party or combine would need 122 seats to secure a majority in the 243-member Bihar assembly. The Grand Alliance was predicted to win a simple majority of 120 to 124 by the News Nation, that predicted 115 to 119 seats for the NDA.

Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Tuesday while reacting on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “six days left for Nititsh and Lalu” comment, said that he will make him recall “Chatti Ka Dudh” in these six days.

It also quoted Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah’s comment that “if I want to eat beef nobody can stop me”. “We need a strong government for reforms to be implemented and for a change in investor mood”.

“The commercial within the newspaper on the cow is a violation of the Model Code of Conduct as a result of you’ll be able to’t use faith for votes”.
