Patna: While voting is underway for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections today, the second phase is also being contested. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, and Yogi Adityanath are campaigning for NDA candidates. Meanwhile, Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi have also taken the lead for the Grand Alliance. The brother-sister duo addressed several rallies today.
“PM wants to win votes by offering ₹10,000”: Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra launched a scathing attack on the NDA while addressing an election rally in Riga, Sitamarhi. She said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants to win the votes of women in Bihar by offering ₹10,000 before the elections. People go to other states to earn money for their families, but Modi and Nitish don’t see this.
“They have the mentality that they will distribute ₹10,000 to women a week before the elections, and they will vote for us. The NDA has been in power for 20 years, but Modi hasn’t even visited a village in Bihar to inquire about the people. In reality, they don’t care about the people. They are only busy promoting themselves on TV and in posters.” – Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Congress General Secretary. Priyanka also held a rally in Champaran: Addressing a gathering in East Champaran, Priyanka Gandhi said, “We are leaders and workers of the Congress Party, who were shown the path by Mahatma Gandhi, and it was your ancestors, the farmers of Champaran, Bihar, who showed the path to Mahatma Gandhi.” The Congress MP said, “Most importantly, you must understand your role in building this country.”
What did Rahul Gandhi say?: Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, addressed a public meeting in Purnia. He said that Bihar must once again progress. The world’s best colleges and universities should be built here. The best hospitals should be built. Bihar should become a global tourist destination.” It should become a hub of food processing and an industrial hub; this is beyond the power of Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar cannot do anything; his remote control is in the hands of PM Modi.

Targeting Modi on the pretext of reels: Addressing a rally in Araria, Rahul Gandhi said, “Narendra Modi came to Bihar and told the youth that we have given you cheap data so that you can earn money by making reels. Whereas the truth is that reels are the addiction of the 21st century. When you watch reels, the money goes into the pockets of Adani, Ambani, and Jio.” The work that used to be done earlier with alcohol and drugs is now being done with alcohol.
