‘Despite all these works you lose’ … Paswan
16 May 2009
After losing his Hajipur seat in Bihar, Lok Janashakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan took the philosophical view, telling reporters that he is happy that secular parties have won.
"It is pleasant that secular parties under the banner of UPA have won all across the country and the prospects of the NDA coming to power have ended," Paswan said.
On his defeat by JD(U)'s Ram Sunder Das, the union steel minister said, "As far as Bihar is concerned, you have your wins and misses. I have served the people. Nobody can say that Paswan has not worked for Hajipur. I have done for the development of the constituency whatever I could have done. Despite all these works you lose, it is just the wish of the people. I will continue to serve them," he said.
Asked whether his parting ways from Congress led to his defeat, Paswan said, "In some places Congress has definitely done well but it was not as effective in Hajipur. Therefore, saying that I lost because of not having allied with the Congress is premature."
