Tejashwi Yadav was sitting right behind Nitish Kumar in the flight. The flight took off from Patna at 10:45 am. Out of 543 Lok Sabha seats, NDA won 291 seats, while India Block got 234 seats. BJP emerged as the largest party in this Lok Sabha with 240 seats. Its other alliance partners have got 51 seats. Talking to media persons in Patna, Tejashwi Yadav said that the results of the Lok Sabha elections are encouraging for RJD. Our voting percentage and seats have increased in the Lok Sabha. The RJD has got more than one crore votes in the state. We fought the election on genuine issues like employment, saving the Constitution and reservation and we succeeded in it. The BJP failed to get the majority figure on its own and had to take the support of other parties. So, the BJP is now dependent on them,” Yadav said. When asked if he was travelling in the same flight with Nitish Kumar, he said: “I am not aware of it.” After interacting with media persons, he flew to New Delhi.
