Anti-incumbency wave in Bihar and the BJP's corruption and mismanagement will be important factors: Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah predicts opposition victory in Bihar, citing anti-incumbency wave and BJP's corruption. Campaigning begins as elections approach.

"The anti-incumbency wave in Bihar and the BJP's corruption and mismanagement will be important factors. - Siddaramaiah"

Mysuru, November 3

Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on Monday expressed confidence in Mahagathbandhan's victory in the Bihar assembly elections, citing the "corruption and mismanagement" in the Nitish Kumar-led National Democratic Alliance government.

The Karantaka CM further said that he would go for campaigning in the Bihar elections and noted that the current government has no ideology, as he is forming an alliance with many parties.

"I will definitely go. I am confident that the opposition alliance will win this time in the elections. He said that the voters of Bihar will be asked to vote. The anti-incumbency wave in Bihar and the BJP's corruption and mismanagement will be important factors. The NDA alliance in Bihar has also followed the model of making promises of state guarantee schemes," he told reporters.

"In Karnataka, 1.24 crore women are being given Rs 2000 per month. Grihalakshmi guarantee. So far, more than Rs 1 lakh crore has been spent on guarantee schemes in the state. The current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is making alliances with many parties, but he has no ideology. Poverty has not been eradicated in Bihar. Therefore, he said, he is hopeful that the poor, backward, Dalits and minorities will vote for the Congress," Siddaramaiah added.

Earlier today, Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan took a swipe at RJD leader and Mahagathbandhan Chief Ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav over his confident prediction of forming the government in Bihar, saying that there is no harm in seeing "Mungeri Lal ke haseen sapne."

Speaking to ANI, Paswan, while responding to Yadav's statement that Mahagathbandhan would take oath on November 18, said, "There is no harm in seeing 'Mungeri Lal ke haseen sapne.' On November 14, NDA is going to form the government once again under the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar."

The polling for the Bihar assembly elections will take place on November 6 and 11, respectively, and the result will be declared on November 14.

Interesting to see Karnataka CM commenting on Bihar politics. But he's correct about poverty not being eradicated in Bihar despite so many years of NDA rule. The guarantee schemes in Karnataka seem to be working well for women empowerment.

Chirag Paswan's "Mungeri Lal ke haseen sapne" comment was quite witty! 😄 But let's see what happens on counting day. Bihar voters are very smart and will decide based on development work.

While I appreciate Siddaramaiah's confidence, shouldn't state CMs focus more on their own states? Karnataka has its own challenges that need attention. Just my respectful opinion.

The anti-incumbency wave is real in Bihar. People want change and development. Nitish Kumar has been CM for too long without significant progress in poverty eradication. Time for new leadership!

Rs 2000 per month for women in Karnataka is impressive! If similar schemes can be implemented in Bihar, it would really help poor families. Hope whichever government comes focuses on women's welfare. 💪
