As NDA eyes victory in Bihar elections, Home Minister Amit Shah, on Friday, took to X to say that the "resounding public mandate given to NDA by the people of Bihar is the people's seal of approval on NDA's committed service" to the state.

"In the last 11 years, Modi ji has worked with an open heart for Bihar, and Nitish ji has taken Bihar out of the darkness of jungle raj. This public mandate is for the resolve of ‘Developed Bihar’," he wrote.

"Every single vote of the people of Bihar is a symbol of faith in the Modi government's policy against infiltrators who play with India's security and resources, and their sympathisers. The public has given a befitting reply to those who protect infiltrators for the sake of vote banks," the Home Minister further said in his X post.

"The people of Bihar have conveyed the mood of the entire country that the purification of the voter list is mandatory and there is no place for politics against it. That is why, under the leadership of Rahul Gandhi, the Congress has today reached the last rung in Bihar," his post further read, adding, "This is the victory of every Bihari who believes in ‘Developed Bihar’."

He congratulated PM Modi and  Nitish Kumar among others and said, "I assure the people of Bihar and especially our mothers and sisters that with the hope and trust with which you have given this mandate to the NDA, under the leadership of Modi ji, the NDA government will fulfill it with even greater dedication."

As per the website of the Election Commission of India, as of 4:45 pm, NDA is leading in 220 seats out of the total 243 and has already won in 14.
