After NDA secured the majority in Bihar polls on Friday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took to X to thank the voters of the state for their trust in Mahagathbandhan.

"I express my heartfelt gratitude to those millions of voters in Bihar who expressed their trust in the Mahagathbandhan," he wrote in an X post.

"This result in Bihar is truly surprising. We could not achieve victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning. This fight is for the protection of the Constitution and democracy. The Congress Party and the INDIA alliance will deeply review this result and make their efforts to save democracy even more effective," he added.

Earlier in the evening, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had addressed BJP workers at the party headquarters and lauded NDA's victory.

"We are the servants of the people. We keep making the people happy with our hard work and we have stolen the hearts of the people. And that is why the entire Bihar has said 'Phir ek baar NDA Sarkar'," he said.

"When I used to speak about Jungle Raj and Katta Sarkar in Bihar elections, the RJD party raised no objections. But it hurt the people of Congress. Today, I want to reiterate that Katta Sarkar will never return to Bihar...The people of Bihar have voted for Viksit Bihar..." he added.

“There is an old saying, ‘Loha Lohe Ko Katta Hai.’ In response to the appeasement politics of some parties in Bihar, we presented our own ‘MY’ formula, which stands for ‘Mahila’ and ‘Youth'," PM Modi said during his address.
