Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar said the results of the Delhi assembly elections was a referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asserted that the same blow would be given to the saffron party in Bihar. “Delhi election results indeed is a referendum on Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Delhi is the heart of the country so it reflects the mood of the country,†Kumar told reporters. Kumar congratulated the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) convener Arvind Kejriwal for the party’s landslide victory in Delhi. “There was a talk of swing in favour of AAP in Delhi, but indeed the entire pendulum of the clock has moved from one end to another,†he said to highlight BJP’s defeat in Delhi. “BJP ideological parent Jana Sangh was born in Delhi. The prime minister had addressed several rallies and every decision by the BJP was taken in his name...its indeed referendum on the Prime Minister Narendra Modi,†Kumar said. “Delhi is the national capital where people from all parts of the country live so it reflects changing mood of the country against the BJP-led NDA government at the Centre,†said the JD(U) leader. People from Bihar who live in Delhi in large numbers have also shown their decision on BJP by voting for AAP, Kumar said. Bihar would be the next destination where the BJP would face similar results. Bihar will go to poll before November this year he added.
