With just three days remaining until the first phase of elections. In Bihar, political parties are intensifying their campaigns across the state.

On top of that, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, along with several other prominent leaders, also held election rallies today, further heating up the political atmosphere in the state.

Promises of Education and a New University

During his public meeting in Begusarai, Rahul Gandhi made several significant promises for Bihar, while he stated that the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) would come to power in Bihar and provide the best education to the state's citizens. Gandhi personally guaranteed that on the day the Mahagathbandhan assumes power at the Centre, they would establish a university as excellent as Nalanda University, while he emphasized that this university would attract students from all over the world, allowing them to enroll and pursue higher education, thereby positioning Bihar as a global hub for learning. This initiative aims to revive the state's educational heritage and. Expand modern educational opportunities, marking a significant step towards academic excellence.

Assurance of an Inclusive Government

In his speech, Rahul Gandhi also addressed the issue of the dominance of any single caste in government. He clarified that if the Mahagathbandhan forms the government in Bihar, it would be a government for everyone, not for any particular caste or community. He asserted that their government would look after the interests of all sections, communities, and castes, working for their welfare, while this statement underscores his commitment to inclusive governance and seeks to ensure that the benefits of the government reach every segment of society, fostering social harmony and equality across the state.

Accusations Against PM Modi Regarding Trump

Rahul Gandhi launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of fearing former US President Donald Trump. He claimed that Prime Minister Modi is under the control of select industrialists and acts at their behest, while gandhi further stated that the Prime Minister would do anything for votes, sarcastically remarking that if asked to perform yoga, he would demonstrate a few asanas, but his focus isn't on real issues. These comments question the motivations behind the Prime Minister's policies. And decisions, sparking debate in political circles about accountability and influence.

Citing Indira Gandhi and 'Operation Sindoor'

To further sharpen his attack, Rahul Gandhi drew a comparison with former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, while he stated that in 1971, Indira Gandhi was threatened by America, but she didn't back down and accomplished what she set out to do. In contrast, Rahul Gandhi alleged that when US President Trump asked Narendra Modi to stop 'Operation Sindoor,' Modi halted the operation within two days, while this comparison was intended to highlight Indira Gandhi's resolve versus Modi's alleged pliability, igniting a fresh debate on issues of national security and sovereignty, and questioning the government's stance under external pressure.

Accusations of Distracting Youth from Unemployment

Rahul Gandhi also accused Prime Minister Modi of distracting the youth from serious issues like unemployment. He claimed that the Prime Minister is encouraging young people to watch reels. Because he wants to divert their attention so they don't question unemployment. A large number of young people attended Rahul Gandhi's rally, and he attempted to connect with them directly, while he mentioned that Narendra Modi claims the BJP has provided cheap data so that youth can watch and create reels. However, Rahul Gandhi argued that when young people watch reels on Instagram and Facebook, the money for internet usage goes to Ambani. He asserted that the entire benefit goes to Ambani, sending a message to the youth that government policies are designed to benefit a few selected industrialists rather than addressing widespread unemployment.

Commitment to Bihar

Rahul Gandhi assured the people of Begusarai that he would be present whenever Bihar needed him. He stated that the public only needed to command him, saying, 'Rahul, come here, we need you, do our work,' and he would be immediately available. This statement reflects his deep commitment and spirit of service towards the people of Bihar, aiming to establish an emotional connection with the electorate, while he reiterated that the Mahagathbandhan government would be dedicated to the development of Bihar and the welfare of its people, promising a responsive and responsible administration if elected to power.
