'Hum Toh Doobe Hain Sanam, Tumko Bhi...' Shivraj Chouhan Targets Congress After Its Loss in Bihar Elections

Nagpur, Maharashtra: After NDA's historic win in the Bihar Assembly Elections, Nitish Kumar took oath as the Bihar Chief Minister on November 20. In the Bihar election, the NDA, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) became the single largest party, securing 89 seats, while the Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) won 85 seats.

Meanwhile, the opposition Mahagathbandhan (MGB) — led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and allied with others like the Indian National Congress (INC) — got only 35 seats. And now Union Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan took a dig at Congress for their poor performance in the Bihar election. 

What Shivraj Chouhan said about Congress and their performance in Bihar elections?

Talking about Bihar election and criticising Congress, Shivraj Singh Chouhan told ANI, "...It has now been proven that whoever Congress stands with will drown. Look at Arvind Kejriwal in Delhi, Akhilesh Yadav in UP and Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar. Defeat is certain wherever Congress forms a part of the alliance. Hum toh doobe hain sanam, tumko bhi le doobenge. Mamata didi in Bengal should beware."

Mahagathbandhan is not a gathbandhan anymore; it is breaking, parties are breaking apart and families are getting estranged too because they have nothing to do with public welfare. It was an alliance of selfishness; their priorities were all wrong..."
