Dipankar Bhattacharya Accuses BJP of ‘Bulldozer Raj’ in Bihar Amid Tarari Byelection Campaign | Patna News – Times of India
Ara: CPI ML (Liberation) national general secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya led a major roadshow on Sunday in Bhojpur’s Tarari assembly constituency in support of INDIA bloc-backed CPI-ML candidate Raju Yadav for the November 13 byelection.
The roadshow began at Sahar, moving through villages like Khaira, Andhari, Bihta, Tarari, Karath and Nonar before ending at Lohia Chowk in Piro. Bhattacharya garlanded statues of veteran CPI-ML leader Ram Naresh Ram at Sahar and Dr B R Ambedkar at Khaira. Addressing the gathering, Bhattacharya said, “One can see the change in BJP’s election strategy this time in Tarari. In 2020, BJP claimed it would not ally with criminal elements, but now the party is openly colluding with such forces to win by any means.”
Criticising BJP, he added, “Their leaders’ provocative language shows their frustration after losing the last Lok Sabha election with Sudama Prasad winning as Ara MP. With Nitish Kumar as a front, BJP is planning a ‘bulldozer raj’ in Bihar, but the INDIA bloc will win in 2025 polls and thwart BJP’s plans.”
