Lalu, Paswan accept defeat with humility

A disappointed and shocked Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad said he accepted the defeat with humility.

"I congratulate Nitish Kumar not the BJP for the success story... though we accept the people's mandate with humility, we will soon undertake a thorough review what led to such astonishing results," Prasad said. Lalu Prasad and LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan held a joint press conference in in Patna on November 24, 2010.

He said "now when people have reposed faith in Nitish Kumar, they will like to see that the promises made by Kumar are completed in a time-bound manner."
