Patna, Oct 20 (IANS) Amid rising political temperature ahead of Bihar Assembly elections, Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha and Union Minister Nityanand Rai on Monday launched strong attacks on the Grand Alliance and questioned its integrity and commitment to the development of Bihar.
Speaking to IANS, Deputy CM and BJP candidate from Lakhisarai Vijay Kumar Sinha said the alliance lacked integrity and direction.
“Their intentions are not clear and that is why there is so much conflict between them. They are a deceitful alliance and we are not interested in them,” Sinha said.
He said, “If you want to be the guardian of democracy, your inner feelings must be pure and your spirit must reflect service and development for all. When intentions are pure, there is success. Their intentions are not pure – that is why their alliance is falling apart.”
Expressing similar sentiments, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai termed the RJD-Congress-Left faction as an egoistic alliance driven entirely by selfishness and dynastic politics.
Speaking to media persons in Patna, Rai said, “This alliance is not about the progress of Bihar, but about personal gain. It is a conflict of interest between leaders who have nothing to do with the development of the state.”
He accused RJD and Congress of being parties of nepotism and claimed that corruption and criminal patronage are embedded in their political culture.
“Where there is politics of self-interest, development is left behind – and with it the future of Bihar,” he warned.
Rai stressed that the people of Bihar have full faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the development model of NDA.
Rai said confidently, “The Nitish Kumar-led NDA government has taken the stream of development to every home. The people of Bihar want a bright future for their children and they stand firmly with the NDA.” He said that the alliance will return to power with an overwhelming majority.
