Akhilesh Yadav Questions Bihar Election Results, Calls for Leadership Change in Opposition Bloc
A politician named Akhilesh Yadav is confused about how a certain group, the NDA, won so many seats in an election in a place called Bihar.
He said it's hard for him to understand.
He also thinks it's important to make sure people only vote once.
He suggested that maybe voter ID cards should be made of metal, like a strong tag, so it's harder to make fake ones and for people to vote more than once.
He mentioned he would learn from another political group, the BJP.
After his party's ally, the Congress, did poorly in the Bihar election, some people are saying Akhilesh Yadav should be the leader of a group called the INDIA opposition bloc.
