Kicking off his Bihar election campaign, Rahul Gandhi hit out at Prime Minister, accusing him of doing “anything for votes”. “If you tell Narendra Modi to dance in exchange for your votes, he will dance on stage,” Gandhi said, addressing a joint rally alongside RJD leader and Grand Alliance chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav.
During his address, Gandhi also invoked the recently concluded Chhath Puja, one of Bihar’s most significant festivals, to underscore what he described as the ruling party’s hypocrisy. He said that devotees are offering prayers in the polluted Yamuna in Delhi with visuals of the Prime Minister taking a dip in a “specially made” pond.
“While the poor are forced to pray in dirty water, Modi ji bathes in a clean, man-made pond built for show,” Gandhi remarked, accusing the BJP of prioritising image-building over real issues.
The verbal sparring has intensified the already heated Bihar election campaign. As the Congress-RJD alliance steps up its offensive against the BJP-JD(U) government, both sides appear ready for a fierce final stretch. With Rahul Gandhi’s provocative comments and the BJP’s rapid counterattack, Bihar’s political temperature has hit a new high ahead of polling day.
