Mahagathbandhan will take oath on 18 Nov: Tejashwi
Dismissing the exit poll predictions, Tejashwi claimed that the Mahagathbandhan will form the next government in Bihar and take oath on November 14. He highlighted that the BJP and NDA are rattled by the response the Grand Alliance is getting. “We had said earlier that results will come on 14th Nov and there will be oath ceremony on 18th Nov. This is definitely going to happen. The feedback that we have been receiving has rattled BJP-NDA…Voters were still in the queue to vote till 6-7 pm and Exit Polls were declared anyway. Voting didn’t even conclude when the Exit Polls came,” Yadav stated.
