PATNA: Congress MP Rahul Gandhi intensified Sunday his attack on BJP and RSS, warning they were attempting to "steal votes" in the Bihar elections. Urging voters to stay alert at polling booths, he claimed NDA had "set its eyes on capturing Bihar" after forming govts in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Haryana and Madhya Pradesh "through fraudulent means".
Addressing rallies in Begusarai and Khagaria, the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha said: "BJP and RSS together have stolen election after election. They did it in four states, and now they want to do the same in Bihar. So be vigilant at polling booths and check the voters' list carefully so that they don't snatch your govt again." Rahul alleged during EC's SIR of electoral rolls, the names of thousands of people believed to be INDIA bloc supporters were deleted from voters' lists. Calling on people to resist "vote chori" firmly, he said: "This is not just theft of votes but an attempt to reject the Constitution and murder the ideology of BRAmbedkar and Mahatma Gandhi. Stay vigilant and oppose it at every polling station."
Rahul also accused CM Nitish Kumar of losing control over his administration. "Nitish Kumar is CM only in name. Bihar is being run by three or four bureaucrats taking instructions from Delhi," he said. He added that NDA had turned Bihar into a "market of labourers" over the past two decades, pushing young people to migrate in search of small jobs.
Promising a reversal if INDIA bloc is elected to office, Rahul said his alliance would establish "the world's best university in Bihar", attracting students from across the world. "Education will be our first priority," he said, asserting that a strong education system would stop mass migration.
Renewing his jibe about Modi's "56-inch chest", Rahul alleged Operation Sindoor was halted under US pressure. "Courage isn't measured by the size of a chest. Gandhi didn't have a big chest, yet he wasn't afraid. Many without big chests are brave. Others with 56-inch chests are cowards."
Taking on Union home minister Amit Shah, Rahul also said, he added: "(Home minister Amit) Shah says there's no land in Bihar for industries, but he gave land to his industrialist friend in Bhagalpur at throwaway prices. This is BJP's model of development."
Rahul also slammed economic decisions by PM Narendra the Modi's govt, saying that policies like GST revisions and 2016 demonetisation were "crafted to destroy small traders and benefit big industrialists".
IMPROMPTU SPLASH: Rahul dived into a village pond to join fishermen in Begusarai on Sunday. He was accompanied by colleague Kanhaiya Kumar and VIP chief Mukesh Sahani. Rahul displayed his swimming skills as he helped the locals pull in their fishing nets
