New Delhi, Oct 29 (IANS) Leader of the Opposition (LoP) and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi in a fiery address in Muzaffarpur on Wednesday launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and accused them of betraying the youth and turning governance into political theatre.
The leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, citing the PM’s recent symbolic “Yamuna bath” during Chhath Puja, said PM Modi’s politics is driven by “drama and deception”.
Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said, “There was no Yamuna ji there – just a pond filled with clean water for Modi ji. Clean water was brought through pipes for his photo-op, while real India bathes in polluted water.”
“If you ask Modi ji to dance for your vote, he will do it. Try – say, ‘Modi ji, don’t give a speech, just dance, and we will vote for you.’ He will dance,” he said.
Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi accused the BJP of opposing social justice and avoiding the caste census. He said, “I asked the Prime Minister in Parliament to conduct a caste census. He did not say a single word.”
“Wherever you look – education, health, bureaucracy, or judiciary – the BJP is against social justice. But the caste census will happen, whether they like it or not.”
Pointing towards the development of Bihar, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said that under Nitish Kumar’s rule, the youth of the state have been deprived of opportunities for decades.
“Nitish Kumar has run the government for 20 years, but what has he done for education, health or jobs?” he asked, describing the JDU-BJP alliance as a “remote-controlled government” run by Delhi.
Attacking the economic policies of PM Modi, he expressed grief over the economic decline of Bihar. He declared, “Look at your shirt, your phone – it says ‘Made in China’. Modi destroyed small Indian businesses with demonetization and GST. We want to see ‘Made in Bihar’ – phones, cameras, clothes, everything is made here to employ the youth of Bihar.”
Highlighting the historical pride of Bihar, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said that their alliance will revive education and restore the intellectual heritage of Bihar.
He promised to build the country’s best university in Bihar within five years, saying, “Nalanda University had once connected India to the world. We will make Bihar an international education hub again.”
He urged voters to support the grand alliance. “This is our guarantee – every caste, every religion, every community will have a voice in government. Bihar will no longer just build India’s cities; it will build its own future.”
