Patna: Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) national president Upendra Kushwaha said on Sunday that the party’s allotment of six seats in the upcoming Bihar elections may disappoint many. “This decision will sadden thousands and millions of people,” he added, including colleagues who had hoped to contest. He also urged people to understand the party’s limitations and the circumstances behind the decision.
“I seek your forgiveness. The number of seats could not be as per your expectations. “I seek forgiveness from all of you. The number of seats hasn’t met your expectations. I understand that this decision will sadden thousands and millions of people, including colleagues who aspired to be candidates for our party. Today, in many homes, food might not have been cooked. However, I am sure you all understand the constraints and limitations of both me and the party,” Kushwaha wrote in a post on X.
“Behind every decision, there are some circumstances that are visible from the outside, but there are also some that are not visible from the outside. We know that due to ignorance of the internal circumstances, there may be anger in your hearts towards me, which is also natural. I humbly request you to let the anger subside, and then you will yourself realize how appropriate or inappropriate the decision is. Time will tell the rest. For now, that is all,” he added.
