JD(U)'s historic mandate due to committed work of party at booth level: Sanjay Jha

Patna, Dec 6 (UNI) Janata Dal (United) National Working President and Rajya Sabha MP Sanjay Kumar Jha today described the party's victory in the Bihar Assembly Elections as "historic" and "globally extraordinary," saying that it was possible due to the committed groundwork done by the party at the booth level.
Addressing a felicitation ceremony organised at the JD(U) state headquarters to celebrate the NDA's sweeping victory, Jha said that the meticulous and committed work of the party at the booth level enabled it to surpass even its highly successful 2010 strike rate.
Jha highlighted that when adverse weather conditions prevented helicopter movement during the campaign, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar immediately chose to conduct roadshows without hesitation. He stopped at eleven locations, seeking public blessings for NDA candidates which reflect his remarkable energy and unwavering resolve.
