Bihar Assembly Election: Nitish Kumar addressed a rally in Begusarai district
Patna:
Bihar’s election is quickly turning, if it hasn’t already, into a boundless and boundless fight, with the latest personal attack by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, a veteran politician known for his dignified speeches. a demonstration in the Begusarai district on Saturday afternoon.
In a scathing speech that referred (the reference was clear, if indirect) to Tejashwi Yadav of the RJD, the opposition alliance’s top ministerial candidate and its main challenger, Nitish Kumar said, “Ask your parent if (parents Yadav) did something schools or colleges when they had the opportunity … or they continued to obtain ill-gotten gains. “
“Other people had the opportunity to rule. What did they do? Was a school or university built? If you want to study today, ask your father or mother. Is there a school? Was a university built all this time?” Nitish Kumar asked people gathered at a meeting in the Teghra constituency.
The reference to “father or mother” was to Mr. Yadav’s parents, former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is currently in jail for a corruption scam, and Rabri Devi, a two-time chief minister to whom Nitish Kumar seemed to dismiss as an installed puppet. by Lalu Yadav after his incarceration.
“… he ruled, made ill-gotten money and went to jail … he sat his wife in the chair. This is what has been happening in Bihar. But today, in my government, if there is someone who does something wrong … any man who breaks the law … will go straight (to jail), “said Kumar.
Kumar had previously said that if his government returns to power, girls who pass their intermediate exams would receive a sum of 25,000 rupees. Girls who pass their graduate exams would get Rs 50,000. Currently, his government is giving sums of 10,000 and 25,000 rupees, respectively.
Caught in an increasingly acrimonious altercation with Tejashwi Yadav (and a colder showdown with LJP chief Chirag Paswan) in recent weeks, Nitish Kumar also lashed out at people protesting his party’s candidate.
“… tumhara ilaj kar denge (We will correct his illness), “said the Chief Minister, who appears to have been shaken by the unexpected popularity of Tejashwi Yadav, in particular his promise to provide 10 lakhs of government jobs.
Bihar’s chief minister, who is seeking a fifth term in the top post, has attacked Lalu Yadav frequently but indirectly in the run-up to these elections.
On Tuesday he scoffed at his son’s 10-lakh job promise and asked if he would use money from “the same scam you are in jail for” to pay his wages.
Tejashwi Yadav, however, has not taken up the attacks without resting. The 31-year-old RJD leader ridiculed the Chief Minister for being “physically and mentally tired” and pointed to “60 scams under his command.”
“He spent 500 million rupees to light up his face in the ads. Then he makes this ridiculous comment about where the money is to provide jobs,” Yadav said.
Unemployment and education have become big issues in this election, with Nitish Kumar targeting every count. Bihar votes for a new 243-member Assembly in three phases starting October 28, with the results due to be presented on November 10.
