Good morning, we are winning: RJD's Lalu Prasad Yadav on Bihar election results

NEW DELHI: RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Sunday said he was confident the Grand Alliance would win the assembly polls in Bihar. "Good morning to all. I had a good night's sleep, can't you see?" an ebullient Lalu told reporters in Patna Sunday morning. "We are winning, there is no doubt," he added.

"Let us see what happens, about the rest... we will speak in the evening, " Lalu said, smiling.

A BJP candidate said the former chief minister was being overconfident. "He should be saying 'good night'," the BJP members said.

The first trends from the counting halls will start trickling in at 8am Sunday.

It appears that not just Bihar, but all of India is waiting to see who will win what some are calling a kind of referendum on PM Modi's government at the centre. Modi has been presented as the face of the NDA-BJP's campaign in the state and the BJP will only name a chief ministerial candidate if its alliance wins.
