‘Nepal-like situation’ if Bihar votes rigged, says RJD leader
Patna: Even before the results of voting for both phases of the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, political temperatures in the state have risen sharply as Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Sunil Kumar Singh has warned that if any manipulation takes place during the vote-counting process Bihar could witness a Nepal-like situation.
According to Kashmir Media Service, Sunil Kumar Singh is a close aide of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi, and is the maternal uncle of Tejashwi Yadav.
Sunil Kumar Singh warned that if any manipulation takes place during the vote-counting process to influence victory or defeat, Bihar could witness a situation similar to that of Nepal, that would be difficult to handle.
“During the 2020 Bihar Assembly election, the counting process was delayed by 4 to 5 hours. If the same were to be repeated tomorrow, either our candidate would come out from the counting centres or the Returning Officers,” Singh said.
He further asserted that any attempt at rigging or tampering with the election results would not be tolerated, adding that RJD workers would take to the streets in protest.
The RJD leader also said that some elements within the government might attempt to interfere in the counting process.
