Meanwhile, Congress MP Jairam Ramesh blamed "vote chori" for Mahagathbandhan's defeat, calling Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and the Election Commission "masterminds" behind it.

Jairam Ramesh said that Congress remain committed to its campaign to "protect the Constitution and save democracy,"

"Without doubt, the election results in Bihar reflect vote chori on a gigantic scale - masterminded by the PM, the HM, and the Election Commission," Jairam Ramesh said.

"The Indian National Congress renews its resolve to continue with even greater strength its campaign to protect the Constitution and save our democracy," he added.

National Democratic Alliance (NDA) registered an emphatic win in the Bihar Assembly polls as the alliance crossed the majority mark of 122 seats required to form the government in the state.

As per the latest data, the Bharatiya Janata Party has emerged as the single largest party with 87 seats, followed closely by the Janata Dal (United), which has secured 80 seats.

From within the NDA, the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) has also delivered a notable performance by winning 18 seats out of the 29 seats it contested.

For the Mahagathbandha, RJD has secured 24 seats, while the Indian National Congress has so far managed to secure just 6 seats.

As a Bihari voter, I can say people voted for development and stability. Nitish Kumar's governance and BJP's vision are working for Bihar. Congress needs to accept the people's verdict gracefully.

Winning only 6 out of 61 seats is a massive failure. Instead of "vote chori" allegations, Congress should focus on rebuilding their organization in Bihar. The ground reality is very different from their perception.

While I respect Rahul Gandhi's right to express his views, constantly blaming the system instead of accepting responsibility doesn't help build credibility. The election commission has maintained its integrity throughout.

People want roads, electricity, jobs - not constant political drama. NDA delivered on development promises while opposition kept fighting among themselves. The result speaks for itself! 🎯

The margin of victory is too huge to blame on "unfair" elections. NDA got 194 vs Mahagathbandhan's 33 - this is a clear mandate. Congress should focus on connecting with youth and presenting concrete policies.

As someone who voted for Mahagathbandhan, even I feel these allegations are unnecessary. Better to accept defeat with dignity and work harder for next time. Democracy is about accepting people's choice.
