"Development argument has prevailed in Bihar. We should congratulate Nitish Kumar and the BJP for the great show. We wish them the best for running a progressive and forward looking government," Chidambaram told reporters outside parliament.
The remarks came as Bihars ruling alliance was poised to retain power, with the vote count indicating a sweeping win in the assembly elections.
In the counting trends, JD-U and BJP candidates were forging towards victory, crushing the divided opposition dreams of an upset verdict.
The Congress, which has been reduced to an also-ran in recent decades in Bihar, put up a humiliating show. Its candidates were ahead of others only in only a handful of seats.
