Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday claimed that if the NDA wins the election, the BJP will ask Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to sit at home.
Addressing a public meeting in Raja Pakar, he took a dig at Nitish Kumar saying that the JD(U) chief has taken oath nine times as the Bihar Chief Minister.
Kharge also asked Nitish Kumar, what he can do now when he could not do anything in twenty years. “Nitish had forgotten his socialism in the greed of power to stick to the chair,” he added.
Maintaining that there was a rift within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar, the Congress president said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not mention Nitish as the Chief Ministerial candidate even once during his election rallies. He also asked why the Bihar Chief Minister was not seen during Modi’s roadshow in Patna.
Later, addressing a press conference in Patna, Kharge expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc will form the government in Bihar after the elections. Promising to restore the glory of the state, the Congress president resolved to build a “migration-free Bihar.”
He reminded Modi that he was the Prime Minister of the country and he had much better things to do than to keep on abusing the Congress and its leaders like Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi.
“You should be talking about generating employment, bringing investment, improving education and not abusing the Congress,” he told the Prime Minister, while reminding him of his promises like providing two crore jobs every year.
Referring to NDA’s promise of one crore jobs, he asked what it was doing for twenty years. He said it was a pure lie and that is why he has been saying that Modi is the “master of liars.”
The Congress president said that people of Bihar were politically conscious and they will not be lured by Rs10,000. He said, even if he offers them Rs10 lakhs, the women of Bihar will still not vote for the BJP and NDA.
Noting that Modi says things that are unbecoming of a Prime Minister, he pointed out how he was pushing the youth towards watching reels.
“Earlier he would suggest they fry ‘pakoras’ and now he is asking them to watch reels,” he pointed out, while asking, do such things suit the Prime Minister of the country.
