Patna (Bihar) [India], June 19 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday hit out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his upcoming visit to Bihar, claiming that the PM is coming to Bihar to do “politics of hatred” and should be ashamed to come to the state due to unfulfilled promises.
“If PM Modi listens to his 200 speeches that he has given so far in Bihar, he will be ashamed to come to Bihar. He made hundreds of promises, he will be ashamed of what to say to the people of Bihar… He is not coming to Bihar to provide employment, reduce inflation, eliminate poverty, but just to do the politics of Hindu-Muslim, the politics of hatred,” Yadav told ANI earlier today.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to visit Bihar tomorrow (June 20), where he is scheduled to address a public gathering in the Siwan district of the state. Earlier, as Deputy CM Vijay Kumar Sinha urged people to attend the event in large numbers, he said that PM Modi will highlight the resolution for ‘Viksit Bihar’ and give a message for ‘freedom from nepotism.’
“The hero of development, the country’s successful Prime Minister
Narendra Modi is coming to Bihar on June 20. Along with the resolution of ‘Developed Bihar’, he is coming to give the message of freedom from nepotism to the country. There is a humble request to all of you to reach Siwan in maximum numbers and support the Prime Minister in this movement to free Bihar from the politics of destruction,” Sinha said on Wednesday
Regarding nepotism, the RJD leader claimed that while the BJP criticises others of family-politics, half of the ministers in the state cabinet are dynasts, while also repeating his claim of NDA being a ‘National Daamaad Aayog.’
“They keep abusing us about family politics, but their alliance is filled with dynastic politicians, and the same thing is true even in their party (BJP). In Bihar, over 50% of the ministers are dynasts… NDA in Bihar means ‘National Daamaad Aayog’. PM Modi has fitted everyone’s son-in-law in the ‘Aayog’,” the RJD leader said.
Continuing his attack, he claimed that state minister Ashok Chaudhary is preventing the son of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, Nishant Kumar, from entering politics.
“They are happy seeing Nitish Kumar unconscious–it’s like a blessing from God for them. Ashok Chaudhary will set his family members, but they will not let Nishant Kumar (son of Nitish Kumar) come into politics,” he claimed.
The RJD leader also subtly hit out at Prashant Kishor, founder of Jan Suraaj Party, claiming that the newly formed parties in the state were formed on an ‘RSS quota’
“Ashok Chaudhary says that there is an RSS quota, but I am curious, and PM Modi and CM Nitish Kumar should clarify the places where the RSS quota works… We all know new parties are being formed in Bihar under the RSS quota. All the new parties that have been formed will be seen nowhere once the election is over in Bihar,” the RJD leader said.
Prashant Kishor is the founder of the Jan Suraaj Party, started on October 2, 2024. Kishor, an election strategist turned politician, had announced in July of 2024 that his party would be contesting all the assembly election seats.
Meanwhile, Kishor hit out at Tejashwi Yadav’s nepotism jibe, claiming that Yadav only wants to see Nitish Kumar’s son in politics so he can also raise allegations of nepotism instead of facing the allegations himself, with Yadav being the son of former Bihar CM Lalu Prasad Yadav.
Kishor told reporters in Gopalganj, “Tejashwi Yadav and his family face allegations of nepotism. Tejashwi Yadav wants that if Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s son also joins politics, he will say he is not the only one who faces allegations of nepotism. As far as I know, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar’s son will not join politics and was not going to.” (ANI)
