BJPs' Manoj Tiwari confident over NDA's win in Bihar, says '122-130 seats expected'

BJP leader Manoj Tiwari on Monday exuded confidence over NDA's win in the Bihar assembly elections, remarking that the people would give another chance to the government based on the development work that the alliance had done in the state. 

"I believe that the people of Bihar have once again given the chance to NDA. There is a logic behind it. The development which the people of Bihar have seen, the empowerment that women have seen, on that basis, we can say that NDA is going to win," said Manoj Tiwari. 

"It is a hurry to imagine oneself as CM just on the basis of exit polls. I request that whatever mandate will come, everyone should accept it peacefully. No one should blame the EVM, no one should say anything offensive. According to my analysis, we can come somewhere between 122-130 seats. There is no harm in considering oneself as 'Hanuman' of Modiji. But then, one should also stand with Modiji. Anything about the post-poll alliance, whatever party will decide," he added.
