Bihar Assembly polls results show no lesson has been learnt from Delhi fiasco: BJP veterans

New Delhi, Nov 10 (IBNS) In a joint statement, senior BJP leaders- LK Advani, Murli Manohar Joshi, Shanta Kumar and Yashwant Sinha- slammed the party over the recent defeat in the Bihar Assembly polls.

They said the result showed the party did not learn from the 'fiasco' in Delhi Assembly polls.

The statement circulated in the media said: "The results of Bihar elections show that no lesson has been learnt from the fiasco in Delhi. To say everyone is responsible for the defeat in Bihar is to ensure that no one is held responsible."

"The principal reason for the latest defeat is the way the Party has been emasculated in the last year," read the statement.

The leaders have urged the party to perform a review of the result in the Bihar polls.

"This review must not be done by the very persons who have managed and who have been responsible for the campaign in Bihar," read the statement.

Results of the Bihar Assembly elections announced on Sunday gave a stunning blow to the BJP-led NDA as it settled for a mere 58 seats in the 243-member house, while the Nitish Kumar-led grand alliance comprising the JDU, RJD and the Congress swept to power with 178 seats securing two-thirds majority.

PM Modi personally led the campaign for the BJP which went aggressive to capture power.
