He maintained a calm stance, noting that the political situation will be clear in just a few hours.

He confirmed that their candidate, A.D. Singh, has received backing from outside their main alliance. Legislators from AIMIM, led by Akhtarul Iman, and the BSP have already cast their votes in favor of the RJD candidate. He confidently stated that their total vote count stands firm at 41.
