Madhubani, Bihar:
Onions were thrown at Nitish Kumar when he was campaigning today in Bihar’s Madhubani for the state elections ending on Saturday. The Chief Minister’s security personnel formed a shield around him as he continued his speech.
Nitish Kumar was talking about providing jobs when the onions flew towards him at a rally in Harlakhi in Madhubani, but they missed him.
“Khub feko, khub feko, khube feko (keep pulling), “said the irate Chief Minister, campaigning on a day when parts of Bihar voted in the second round of three-phase elections.
When the attacker was apparently caught by security personnel, he said, “Let him go, pay him no attention.”
Nitish Kumar then resumed his speech, targeting the opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav and accusing his parents Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi, both chief ministers over a 15-year period, of ruining Bihar.
“How can (Tejashwi Yadav) promise 10 lakh of government jobs when Lalu Yadav failed to provide jobs to people in 15 years of RJD rule? In 15 years, they only gave 95,000 jobs compared with the six lakhs of government jobs given in our government, “he said. said.
Nitish Kumar, 69, faces a tough election as he runs for a fourth consecutive term in Bihar amid obvious signs of anti-incumbency. The Chief Minister and some ministers have faced anger during their demonstrations.
A few weeks ago Nitish Kumar lost his temper and lashed out when he was interrupted at a rally in Chhapra. Listen to slogans of “Lalu Yadav zindabad“He said,” Raise your hand, whoever’s talking anap-shanaap (nonsense). Do not do find (chaos) here. If you don’t want to vote for me, don’t … You will destroy the votes of the man you’re here for. “
What is also concerning to the five-time Chief Minister is the apparent public response to the demonstrations by Tejashwi Yadav. These have been marked by sizable crowds and massive cheers as 31-year-old leader Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the main opposition ministerial candidate, spoke about his promise of employment, although the BJP says the crowds mean nothing.
After the final round of voting on Saturday, the results of the Bihar elections will be declared on November 10.
