New Delhi [India], September 3 (ANI): BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain expressed confidence that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will win more than 200 seats in Bihar Assembly polls and took a jibe at "Mahagathbandhan" (grand alliance) by calling it a sinking ship.
He welcomed that Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awam Morcha's entry into NDA.
"Mahagathbandhan lost Lok Sabha elections miserably. At that time, there was a split in the alliance. There are no leaders in Congress and RJD... Mahagathbandhan is a sinking ship. Now Jitan Ram Manjhi is joining NDA. It is a welcome step. He was with us in last Assembly elections. Like Lok Sabha, we will win Assembly elections with the same strike rate. We will win more than 200 seats," Hussain told ANI.
Manjhi, who was earlier part of the NDA but left the alliance to join 'Mahagathbandhan' in 2018, on Wednesday said that we will form the NDA government.
