In a huge public meeting held in Sonbarsa before the assembly elections in Bihar, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra made a scathing attack on the NDA government at the Center and the state. Directly targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he said that BJP leaders always talk about the past and for this they insult Nehru ji and Indira ji. He told PM Modi to create an insult ministry, so that you will not need to prepare the list yourself.

Priyanka Gandhi sarcastically said that if the Prime Minister wants, he can also prepare a list of insults to her family so that she does not have to work hard. He said that Modi government does not talk to the youth of the country on employment and education. He further said, “If any youth asks questions, he is declared a traitor.”

Priyanka spoke on the youth and farmers of Bihar

Priyanka Gandhi expressed concern over the increasing migration in Bihar and said, “The youth of Bihar have to go to other states for employment because there is no employment here. Earlier people used to earn from farming, but now farmers are not able to get the right price for their crops. This situation shows the failure of the government’s policies.” He said that Narendra Modi has given the country’s big industries to his industrialist friends.

He said, “Narendra Modi has given the country’s big industries to his friends. Adani was given Bihar land at Re 1 per acre, but common people have to take loans to get land, which is never forgiven. Loans worth thousands of crores of Modi ji’s friends are forgiven.”

Priyanka Gandhi told the women that PM Modi and Nitish are talking about giving Rs 10,000 before the elections, but the question is where was this money earlier? Weren’t women struggling earlier? He said take money from them, but don’t vote. Don’t get trapped in their false promises.

Vote cutting and attack on public rights

Priyanka Gandhi alleged that the NDA government is snatching people’s votes. He said, “Votes of more than 65 lakh people have been canceled in Bihar. This means that their rights have been taken away from so many people. Vote theft is a big conspiracy against the people.”

‘You will get less votes than the number of fish you catch’, Ravi Kishan taunted when Rahul Gandhi threw the net in the pond.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi, while talking to the media outside Parliament on Tuesday, reiterated the Election Commission in collusion with the BJP and reiterated the allegations of disturbing voter lists. He said that this conspiracy took place in Karnataka and Maharashtra last year and is now preparing to repeat in Bihar through ‘Special Intensive Revision’.

He said, “This is not just a matter of one or two seats… it has happened in many seats. It is being done at the national level and with the plan. Along with this, Rahul Gandhi smiled and said, “The picture is still left.”

Demonstration and custody outside Parliament
The statement came out of Parliament 24 hours after the dramatic developments on Monday, when the MPs of the Congress and India Block demonstrated strongly demanding the release of a machine-readable voter list. Currently, the Election Commission releases the scanned pictures of the voter list, which makes it almost impossible to check the mistakes. During the protest, Delhi Police detained 29 opposition MPs including Rahul Gandhi, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra, Akhilesh Yadav, Sanjay Raut.

Old allegations and warnings
Last week, Rahul Gandhi warned the Election Commission, “Think twice before attacking the Constitution. We will catch you one by one… and if you do not give us data (voter list and the last 10 years pole booth video), you will not be able to hide.”

He claimed that 1.02 lakh illegal votes were cast in Karnataka during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, in which only 80 voters were found registered at a room address in Mahadevpura area of Bangalore. He says that the Congress lost the Bangalore Central seat with this disturbance, where BJP’s PC Mohan defeated Mansoor Khan of Congress by 33,000 votes.

Allegations of disturbances in Maharashtra also
Rahul Gandhi and the opposition have made similar allegations about the 2024 Maharashtra assembly elections. He claims that more than one crore new names were added to the voter list, which is suspicious in the voter list, just four months after the BJP -led Mahayuti alliance defeat in the Lok Sabha elections. The opposition has also described the ‘Special Intensive Revision’ of the voter list in Bihar as suspicious before the election. This case has been challenged in the Supreme Court.

Election Commission and BJP reply
The Election Commission has dismissed all these allegations, saying that its procedures are transparent and have been created to ensure independent and fair elections. The Commission challenged Rahul Gandhi to register his claims in the affidavit and present evidence. On Friday, the Commission also raised a case of 2018 when it alleged that the Congress tried to mislead the Supreme Court in the petition of former Chief Minister Kamal Nath.

BJP leader Amit Malviya said, “If Rahul Gandhi wants to save his credibility, he will have to mention the names of ineligible voters under the affidavit, whom they are claiming… If they do not do so, it will be clear that there is no case in their case and they are just doing political drama.”

The controversy that started on the verification of the voter list in Bihar is not taking the name of stopping. In Darbhanga, a Congress leader has shared a video, which the opposition is telling an open proof of the collusion of the Election Commission and BJP. The video is from a government school in Darbhanga, where the BLO of the polling station is sitting and next to him, the women’s district president Sapna Bharti is sitting. The Congress leader who made the video questioned the presence of the BJP leader, after which there was a debate on the camera between the two and this video went viral. Tejashwi Yadav shared the video and wrote, “Does any more direct evidence require?” As the dispute escalated, the District Election Officer clarified that the BJP leaders had come to submit documents of their family members, while the BJP woman leader says that she was helping the women of the locality. This year elections are to be held in Bihar and next year in West Bengal. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee took out a protest march in Kolkata and said that those who speak Bengali are trying to snatch their rights by calling them Bangladeshi Rohingya and they are being arrested. Mamta Banerjee said that if the Election Commission demands amendment in the voter list before the assembly elections, it will be opposed. At the same time, BJP says that this is very important to happen. BJP leaders clearly say that “We have only one thing in Bihar, start immediately in Bengal. And the scam delete all the names of Rohingya Muslims in it.” BJP believes that in the coming days, situations like Bihar may be seen in West Bengal.
