Mallikarjun Kharge: Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge claimed on Monday that if the NDA returns to power in Bihar, the BJP will not make Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister, but will give the post to a ‘disciple’ of the saffron party. Addressing his first Bihar election rally at Raja Pakar in Vaishali district, about 40 km from the Hajipur headquarters, Kharge accused Nitish Kumar of betraying the legacy of socialists like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia and Karpoori Thakur and joining hands with the “anti-women” BJP. He claimed that Nitish Kumar is sitting in the lap of BJP, which believes in Manu Smriti. He has left out JP, Lohia and Thakur. He cannot protect the interests of Dalits, OBCs and EBCs.
Dalits are being intimidated
Kharge, while trying to create a rift between the saffron party and JD(U), said that Nitish Kumar does not know that after the elections, BJP will not make him the CM again and instead it will give the post to one of its ‘disciples’. Kharge alleged that Dalits are being intimidated in the entire country including Bihar. He said that Modi and Nitish are not at all concerned about the Dalits, they are only concerned about their seats. Therefore, we all need to be cautious and not compromise with our self-respect. Kharge mocked Prime Minister Narendra Modi for campaigning extensively in the state as if it was his son’s wedding. He said that the Prime Minister has time to travel the world, but not to take stock of the situation in his own country, where he is seen only during elections.
NDA government involved in scams worth Rs 70,000 crore
Said that you can see Modi roaming on the streets of the city even during the municipal elections. Even during Bihar Assembly elections, he remains as busy as if his son is getting married. Attacking the Prime Minister, he said that Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat for 13.5 years and has been the Prime Minister for the last 12 years, but could neither develop the country nor the state. Taking aim at Nitish Kumar, he said that Nitish took oath as the Chief Minister of Bihar nine times and ruled the state for 20 years, yet he could neither provide jobs nor stop the migration of youth. Kharge alleged that the NDA government in Bihar is involved in scams worth Rs 70,000 crore and claimed that the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report has also confirmed this.
