Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 16 : Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati extended her greetings to the party's sole winning candidate in the Bihar Assembly elections on Sunday.
BSP's Satish Kumar Singh Yadav won the elections from Ramgarh assembly constituency, located in the Kaimur district.

From the Mahagathbandhan, RJD's Ajit Kumar was in the fray, who polled 41,480 votes.

However, Mayawati alleged that there was "repeated vote counting" and "combined efforts of the administration and opposition parties" to defeat the party.
"Although, under the pretext of repeated vote counting, the local administration and all opposition parties united to make every possible effort to defeat the BSP candidate, but due to the brave party workers standing firm throughout, the opponents' conspiracy could not succeed," she added.
Mayawati said the win was achieved despite what she described as coordinated attempts by local authorities and rival parties to prevent the BSP candidate from prevailing. She credited the "firm resolve" and "courage" of party workers for ensuring that the "conspiracy of opponents did not succeed."
The social media post reads, "Not only that, but despite giving tough competition to the opponents on other seats in this region of Bihar, the BSP candidates could not win the elections, whereas according to feedback, if the elections had been completely free and fair, the BSP would have certainly won many more seats, but that did not happen, so there is no need for the party members to be disheartened; rather, there is a need to continue working with even more preparation ahead."
Expressing gratitude to all small and big office-bearers, workers and well-wishers, the BSP supremo praised the cadre for contesting the Bihar Assembly elections with complete dedication.
"Finally, heartfelt thanks to all the small and big office-bearers, workers, well-wishers, and others of the BSP for contesting the elections in this Bihar Legislative Assembly election with their blood, sweat, and complete dedication, and a call to remain fully committed with all might in Bihar ahead so that Bihar can become the land of the dreams of the most revered Baba Saheb Dr. Bhimrao Ambedkar and respected Shri Kanshiram Ji, 'Sarvjan Hitaay Sarvjan Sukhaay'," the post added.
