"This is the blessings of people": Samrat Choudhary after exit poll predicts victory for BJP-led NDA

Patna (Bihar) [India], June 2 : Citing the predictions of exit polls that indicate a third consecutive term for Narendra Modi as the Prime Minister, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary attributed the results to the work done by PM Modi and asserted that no PM has done as much work as Narendra Modi has done.
Speaking to ANI, Samrat Choudhary said, "This is the blessing of the people and the work that PM Modi has done in the last 10 years. In 70 years, no Prime Minister has done as much work as Narendra Modi has done. He has worked and hence he is getting the love of the people."
Reacting to Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge's statement that INDIA alliance will win over 295 seats in the Lok Sabha elections 2024, Choudhary said, "If they (INDIA alliance) are getting 295 seats then they should go and form the government."
When asked about violence being reported from places where the family of Lalu Prasad Yadav contested the elections, the Bihar Deputy Chief Minister targeted him and called him a symbol of anarchy.
