On Bihar Election Results

November 8, 2015

Press Statement

 

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

 

The CPI(M) congratulates the people of Bihar who have given a resounding defeat to the BJP alliance in the assembly elections. They have rejected the rank communal campaign conducted by the BJP, led by the Narendra Modi-Amit Shah duo with divisive issues like cow and beef and the bogey of reservations for minorities.

 

The decisive victory of the JD(U)-RJD alliance is a clear indication that the BJP-RSS brand of politics is getting increasingly exposed. It is also an indication that the eighteen month record of the BJP central government which has imposed economic burdens on the people has met with disapproval.

 

The Bihar verdict will strengthen the fight against the rightwing communal forces.

Bihar Election Results

August 8, 2009

Press Statement

The Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of India (Marxist) has issued the following statement:

                                             Bihar Election Results

The assembly elections in Bihar have resulted in a clear victory for the JD(U)-BJP alliance. The division amongst the secular and democratic parties has made a major contribution to this result. The record of the previous RJD-led government had aroused popular discontent which was also utilised by the JD(U)-BJP alliance.
The reasons for the setback in a state which had never given a mandate for an alliance which includes the BJP, must be gone into so that appropriate lessons are drawn.
