TMC's defeat is not shocking: Manoj Tiwari

Manoj Tiwari said that he was not at all surprised to see such defeat of TMC. He said, 'I am not at all surprised by this defeat. This is what happens when the entire party is involved in corruption and there is no development. TMC gave tickets only to those people who could pay huge amount. This time 70-72 candidates paid Rs 5 crore for the ticket. I was also asked for money but I refused. Now see how many people have won among those who gave money. '

Worked by spending money from my own pocket: Manoj Tiwari
