Patna, September 18 (IANS) Union Minister and Begusarai MP Giriraj Singh on Thursday made fun of the leader of Bihar opposition Tejashvi Yadav, alleged that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took advantage of him during the voter visit.
Speaking to reporters at Begusarai, Singh said that the crowd was gathered by Tejashvi during the journey, but Rahul Gandhi went with the headlines.
“There was a perception in the media that Rahul Gandhi emerged as a crowd in Bihar. But the reality is that the Congress has no existence here-it is completely dependent on RJD. Despite this, Tejashwi played the second Fidel and Rahul Gandhi took credit to everyone.”
He said that Tejashvi repeatedly introduced Rahul Gandhi as a “future Prime Minister” during the visit, and hoped to support Gandhi as Bihar’s future Chief Minister. Singh claimed, “But Rahul Gandhi never said so. That is why Tejashvi is now doing the Bihar Adikar Yatra – to avoid Rahul’s shadow before the 2025 assembly elections,” Singh claimed.
However, the Union Textile Minister dismissed Tejashvi’s opportunities outright. Singh said, “He can do anything, but he will never be the Chief Minister of Bihar. People are with the NDA, and our government will be formed in the state once again.”
Singh also held a meeting of the Congress Working Committee (CWC) set in Patna on 24 September and said that it will not affect Bihar’s politics. He said, “Congress has no relevance here. Whether Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, or Mallikrajun Kharge will not matter. This will not make any difference. The NDA will win with a big difference in the assembly elections,” he said.
Earlier, a similar allegation was made by Chirag Paswan, the head of Lok Janakati Party (Ram Vilas), in which Tejashvi was accused of reducing Rahul Gandhi’s follower. Paswan suggested that the Bihar Adikar Yatra is an attempt to rebuild himself of Tejashvi and has shed the image of the Congress leader being overshraded.
