Oppn slams PM over silence on key issues | Patna News – Times of India
PATNA: The opposition INDIA bloc launched a sharp attack on the NDA govt in Bihar, accusing it of continuously harping on past administrations due to a lack of achievements of its own. The criticism came after PM Narendra Modi, during a rally in Bikramganj on Friday, took an indirect swipe at former CM Lalu Prasad.Leader of the opposition in the state assembly, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, posted on X, “The 20-year NDA govt has nothing to give an account of its work, so those who cry about the 15 years of the govt formed 35 years ago should first give an account of their own 20 years.”Tejashwi’s elder brother, Tej Pratap Yadav, recently expelled from the RJD for six years by his father and party chief Lalu Prasad, reposted the same comments, criticising the NDA govt led by CM Nitish Kumar.Tejashwi accused the NDA of ignoring pressing issues. “Bihar has record-breaking unemployment, poverty and migration given by the 20-year NDA govt, which never discusses these burning issues. The PM visits Bihar only in the election year and keeps repeating the same by laying the foundation stone and inaugurating the projects and announcements going on since 2015,” he wrote on X.Later, at a joint press conference of the INDIA bloc, RJD national spokesperson Manoj Kumar Jha criticised the PM for not addressing employment or law and order in Bihar. “Capital is invested in Gujarat and politics is done in Bihar,” he said. He also questioned why the PM had not spoken about including the 65% reservation system in the Ninth Schedule.K D Yadav of the CPI(ML) accused both the central and Bihar govts of ignoring the rights and entitlements of farmers. “You come and make empty promises and go away,” he said.Awadhesh Kumar of the CPI(M), V K Singh of the VIP, and Nivedita Jha of the CPI, among other leaders from the opposition alliance, also spoke on the occasion.
