A key aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday saw a "positive signal for national politics" from the assembly elections, in which the BJP has come out with flying colours, much to the disappointment of the Congress.
Senior JD(U) leader Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, a state minister, was approached by journalists with queries about the trends showing a BJP win in Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh, where it has turned the tables on the ruling Congress, and also in Madhya Pradesh, where it has surmounted incumbency despite being in power for four consecutive terms.
"Normally, questions should be asked only after the results are out and not when we have only trends. Still, it can be said that the trends point towards a positive signal for national politics," he said.
