Patna, October 30 (IANS) Grand Alliance’s chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav launched a scathing attack on Union Home Minister Amit Shah for allegedly threatening him.
Tejashwi Yadav said, “Amit Shah threatens us and says he will teach us a lesson so that we think twice before contesting elections. But Tejashwi is not afraid. When Lalu Prasad Yadav got his (Shah) guru LK Advani arrested, he was not afraid – so why would his son be afraid now?”
This statement of Tejashwi Yadav came during a huge rally in support of VIP candidate Santosh Sahni in Kothram block located in Gaura Bauram assembly constituency of Darbhanga district.
During his address, Tejashwi Yadav said that his real fight is against unemployment and migration, promising that if the Grand Alliance comes to power, one member from every household will get a government job.
He appealed to the people, “Imagine how beautiful it will be when your son or daughter gets a government job. Strengthen our hands and ensure our victory.”
Tejashwi further targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Amit Shah, accusing them of being outsiders who want to colonize Bihar.
He alleged that despite the NDA government ruling the state for 20 years and at the Center for years, they had failed to bring development in Bihar.
Referring to Shah’s recent statement that industries cannot be set up in Bihar due to lack of land, Tejashwi said that BJP only wants votes from Bihar but wants to set up investments and industries in Gujarat.
He said, “The people of Bihar have now understood everything and will boycott these outsiders. This election is an opportunity to create a new Bihar.”
He also alleged that the government was bribing voters by depositing Rs 10,000 in the accounts of women during the election period.
Questioning the inaction of the Election Commission, he said, “The government has not done anything in 20 years, but as soon as the elections come, they start distributing money.”
Calling on voters to be cautious, Tejashwi Yadav said, “This election is not just about changing the government – it is about bringing employment, industry and respect to Bihar.”
