Was sure RJD would blame the EVMs says Sushil Modi

Patna, Nov 11: Bihar's deputy chief minister, Sushil Kumar Modi said that the RJD will blame the Electronic Voting Machines as it is unable to accept its defeat in Bihar.

"Bihar has rejected hollow promises, casteism and politics of appeasement, and has backed the NDA's development agenda. This is a win for Bihar's hopes. This is a win for the double-engine development of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar," Union Home Minister , Amit Shah said in a tweet.

Bihar has taught the world the first lesson of democracy. Today Bihar has told the world again how democracy is strengthened. A record number of poor, deprived and women of Bihar also voted and today have also given their decisive decision for development," the PM said in a tweet.
