Double engine government has pulled Bihar from progress – Rahul Gandhi
Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha said, ‘These are not just figures, they are mirrors. The ‘rear view mirror’ is showing how much the double engine (government) has pulled Bihar back from progress. All the Bihari youth I have met are very promising and intelligent. They can shine everywhere on the strength of their ability and hard work, but instead of opportunities the government has given them only unemployment and disappointment. He emphasized, ‘Now is the time for change, time to rekindle the self-respect of Bihar. It is time to reiterate the grand alliance’s resolve for justice.
