The political battleground of Bihar is witnessing intense campaigning from both the INDIA alliance and the NDA, with Congress MP Rahul Gandhi actively participating. In this vein, Rahul Gandhi addressed a massive public gathering in Darbhanga on Wednesday, where he prominently raised issues of Bihar's development and social justice. During his address, he launched a scathing attack on the. NDA government and sought public support for the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).
Critique of NDA and Nitish Kumar's Alleged Control
Rahul Gandhi delivered a sharp critique of the NDA government, asserting that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's 'remote control' is in the hands of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). He accused the government of making false promises to the people of Bihar for the past 20 years, while the state's education and health systems have completely collapsed, while gandhi questioned why Bihar's youth, who contribute Importantly to building roads, flyovers, and bridges across India, are unable to witness similar development in their own state. He emphasized that the people of Bihar possess immense potential and. Energy, but the current government has failed to provide them with opportunities.
Vision for Mahagathbandhan: Inclusive Government and Development
The Congress leader pledged that if the Mahagathbandhan forms the government,. It would be a government for all religions and all castes. He asserted that their administration would bring Bihar back on the path of development, ensuring space and respect for every section of society. Rahul Gandhi specifically committed to implementing a 'special manifesto' for the Extremely Backward Classes (OBCs), terming it a crucial step for their upliftment. This manifesto aims to address the specific challenges faced by the OBC community and introduce tailored schemes and policies to integrate them into the mainstream.
**Bihar's Youth: National Contribution vs.
Land Allocation and Prioritizing Industrialists
In his speech, Rahul Gandhi lauded the hard work and contributions of Bihar's youth. He highlighted that whenever major construction projects, be it roads, bridges, or buildings, are undertaken across the country, the labor and efforts of Bihari workers and youth are indispensable. However, he expressed sorrow that these very young individuals face a severe lack of opportunities in their home state of Bihar. He questioned why, despite their capability to contribute to the development of other. States, they're denied the chance to play an active role in Bihar's progress. This question directly addressed the issues of migration and unemployment prevalent in Bihar.
Continuing his attack on the BJP, Rahul Gandhi questioned the government's policies regarding land allocation. He stated that when industrialists like Adani and Ambani require land, the government readily provides it, while however, when farmers' children need land to open their own factories, Home Minister Amit Shah claims there is no land available in Bihar. This accusation challenges the government's priorities, suggesting that it favors large corporations over small and medium enterprises or agricultural communities.
Prime Minister Modi's Alleged Alliance with Industrialists
Rahul Gandhi also targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He claimed that Modi would even 'dance on stage' for votes and agree to anything before elections, while however, after the elections, he would be seen at Ambani's wedding and with 'suit-boot' clad individuals, not with farmers and laborers. Rahul Gandhi went as far as to label Narendra Modi as an 'instrument' for Adani-Ambani, urging the public not to consider him their elected Prime Minister, but rather someone who paves the way for these big industrialists. This statement accuses the Prime Minister of working in favor of industrialists and links his policies to the interests of specific wealthy groups rather than the general public. Rahul Gandhi urged the people of Darbhanga to strengthen the Mahagathbandhan to ensure genuine development and respect for Bihar.
