On whether Bihar election was a referendum on the policies of the Centre, Jaitley, in an interview to ET Now, said, “The word referendum is loosely used… every election is not a referendum. A state election is not a referendum. You are not contesting on one issue.”
He further said that the vote share of BJP has not come down and the victory of the Mahaghatbandhan was on account of different opposition forces coming together.
