The BJP on Wednesday fuelled more power to the Bihar Assembly elections campaign with top Union Ministers including Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and Delhi CM Rekha Gupta crisscrossing the State.
Home Minister Amit Shah while addressing a rally in Darbhanga hit out at the INDIA bloc, alleging that the Congress has supported of Popular Front of India (PFI). “Whether the members of radical outfit Popular Front of India (PFI), who were arrested after the Centre (BJP) banned the organisation, would remain behind bars if the Congress-RJD combine came to power in Bihar. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad wants to make his son Tejashwi the chief minister of Bihar and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi her son Rahul the PM,” Shah said, asserting that both posts were not vacant.
Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, while addressing a public rally in Darbhanga said a two-thirds majority for the NDA in the 243-member Bihar Assembly will be a fitting tribute to Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru on his birthday on November 14, the day poll results will be announced. He said Bihar does not need a Goonda Raj. He also slammed the Congress and the RJD for attacking the Election Commission of India, and wondered how democracy runs if constitutional bodies are defamed.
Another star campaigner Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath charged RJD president Lalu Prasad with having committed a sin by arresting BJP patriarch Lal Krishna Advani, who had taken out the Ram Rath Yatra decades ago.
Yogi also alleged the Congress has been claiming that Lord Ram did not exist. The allusion was to an affidavit submitted before the Supreme Court in 2007, when the Centre was ruled by the Congress-ruled UPA.
