Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar addressed an election rally on Saturday at the Alauli assembly seat of LJP founder Ram Vilas Paswan, but refrained from speaking anything against the party or its chairman Chirag Paswan , which has been attacking him regularly. After disassociating his party from the ruling NDA in Bihar, Chirag has been attacking the prime minister almost daily at his election meetings, as well as on social media, but Kumar has chosen not to react to him.
Kumar kept the same approach and avoided making any reference to Chirag or his party at his rally in Alauli during the day. Alauli’s reserved seat includes Paswan’s birthplace, Saharbbani village in the Khagaria district.
Ram Vilas Paswan had started his political career by winning in the Alauli constituency in the Samyukta Socialist Party (SSY) in 1969. His younger brother, Pashupati Kumar Paras, currently a member of the Lok Sabha from the Hajipur family district, maintained contact with the district. Alauli election for many years. winning from there seven times in the past.
In 2015, Paras lost to RJD’s Chandan Kumar. In current polls, the constituency is witnessing a three-way contest between JD (U), RJD, and LJP.
Kumar’s party has deployed Sadhna Sada, RJD has ticketed Rambriksha Sada while Chirag’s LJP has put Ramchandra Sada in the seat that will go to vote in the second phase on November 3. While Kumar highlighted the development work done in the area and also launched a fierce attack on the RJD in its direction, he abjured to speak anything in the LJP.
Kumar said that “those who neglected education, health and road construction and took time to encourage the ‘raj of the jungle’ are talking about development … it is just a joke,” said Kumar, who criticized the feast of his bete noire Lalu Prasad. They spent a long time in power before the NDA took over the reins of the state in late 2005, but “they used it only to serve the interests of the family.” “We ended the ‘raj jungle’ and established the rule of law,” Kumar said, citing the latest report from the National Bureau of Criminal Records that places Bihar 23rd in terms of crime to clarify the point. He also reiterated all this in his speech at Teghra in Begusarai. The public meeting in Teghra saw some people speaking out against the state government, so Kumar reprimanded them and said that he knew that rivals had sent them for political gain.
Kumar said that “we want everyone to study, but some people want to get everything without education”, veiled emphasizing the candidate for president of the opposition Tejashwi Yadav. Tejashwi is a ninth class dropout. “Some people who don’t even have literacy skills or experience are talking about providing work for others … this is ridiculous,” he said mocking RJD’s promise to create 10 lakh jobs in the state if they vote for power. .
Kumar, who has been declared the face of the NDA’s CM, listed the achievements of his successive governments over the past 15 years and vowed to further accelerate development work if he returned to power.
