{ "title": "Paswan Slams Oppn's 'Provocative Politics' Over EVM Concerns | Bihar Polls", "article": "Union Minister Chirag Paswan has attacked the opposition Mahagathbandhan for its persistent criticism of EVMs and election officials. He claimed that if the opposition parties spent more time assessing their own performance, they might achieve better results. Paswan, a member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), accused the opposition of engaging in provocative politics by referencing Gen Z protests in Nepal. He stated that the opposition's claims of a potential atmosphere similar to Nepal, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka in India are unfounded. The remarks come in the wake of warnings issued by RJD leader Sunil Singh, who cautioned election officials against manipulating the people's mandate. Singh warned that any attempt to defy public will could lead to widespread public outrage. The NDA swept the Bihar Assembly polls, securing 202 seats and a three-fourths majority. The ruling coalition's victory marked the second time it has crossed the 200-mark in the assembly polls. In contrast, the Mahagathbandhan suffered significant losses, with the RJD winning 25 seats and the Congress securing a single seat. The Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (Liberation) and the Indian Inclusive Party also won two and one seats, respectively. Paswan's comments highlight the ongoing tensions between the NDA and the opposition, with both sides engaging in a war of words over the integrity of the electoral process."
