Kishanganj (Bihar), November 9
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi today said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Chief Election Commissioner of India Gyanesh Kumar had no answers to his charges of election theft as they are scared to speak. Addressing a largely attended public rally on the last day of the campaigning here today pointed out that none of them had dared to come out with an answer, as they knew they did not have any explanation against the foolproof evidence he produced.
The senior Congress leader said Modi and Shah do not win elections; they only steal them, he remarked, adding that they were scared about losing. Accusing Prime Minister Modi of spreading hatred and fear, Rahul Gandhi said, “There is hatred in Modi’s thoughts, while there is love and harmony in my blood.” He alleged that the RSS-BJP only divide people in the name of religion, caste, region, and language to divert their attention from the pressing issues.
Gandhi said it was a battle of ideologies between the RSS-BJP on the one side and the Congress/Mahagathbandhan on the other. He said while the RSS-BJP divides people, the Congress and Mahagathbandhan unite them. The senior Congress leader said that the most important question today in the country and Bihar was how to provide jobs to the unemployed youth. He said that for employment, they need good education, for which we need good schools, colleges, and universities. He said the education system in Bihar had collapsed, as colleges and universities were shutting down. He reaffirmed his vision that once the Mahagathbandhan government is formed in Bihar after elections, it will work to generate jobs in the state. He said instead of the “made in China” labels on goods, there should be “made in Bihar” labels on them.
Questioning Nitish Kumar on what he had done for Bihar in the last twenty years, he asked whether the Chief Minister had set up even a single food processing unit in the state, despite it being a major producer of fruits like pineapples and mangoes. Rahul reiterated his personal commitment to the people of Bihar that when the INDIA bloc government is formed at the Centre, he will ensure the establishment of the world’s best university in the state, on the pattern of ancient Nalanda University, where students from across the globe will come to study.
The senior Congress leader asked Modi to talk to the youth, farmers and labourers of Bihar and ask them what they need. He said they certainly don’t need to watch reels and suffer from the modern-day addiction. Gandhi made a fervent appeal to the people of Bihar, the Gen Z, youth, farmers and labourers in particular, to defend and protect democracy and ensure that the BJP does not steal votes the way they stole in other states. He said that if vote theft is prevented, then the formation of the Mahagathbandhan government is certain.
