INDIA Bloc rallies across Bihar post-Raksha Bandhan: Tejashwi Yadav

Tejashwi Yadav reveals INDIA Bloc's Bihar campaign post-Raksha Bandhan, featuring Rahul Gandhi and targeting Nitish Kumar's governance.

"August is known for revolutions. This time, Bihar will witness a new Kranti. – Tejashwi Yadav"

Patna, July 30

Leader of Opposition and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday announced that the INDIA Bloc will soon launch a state-wide campaign in Bihar, holding rallies across all nine divisions after Raksha Bandhan.

The rallies will feature top national leaders, including Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and representatives from the Left parties.

"We will jointly campaign across all nine divisions of Bihar, with one mega rally in each division. Leaders like Rahul Gandhi and other allies from the INDIA bloc will participate. The rally route plan will be finalised shortly," Tejashwi Yadav stated while addressing the media in Patna after the coordination committee meeting.

Highlighting the historical importance of August, Tejashwi remarked, "August is known for revolutions (Kranti). This time, Bihar will witness a new Kranti."

The opposition’s campaign is set to spotlight a range of issues, including alleged electoral manipulation and large-scale corruption under the current state government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Yadav targeted the Nitish-led NDA government over the recent CAG (Comptroller and Auditor General) report, which flagged that the Bihar government had failed to submit utilisation certificates for Rs 80,000 crore spent by various departments.

"These are taxpayers' funds, and there’s no accountability for how this massive amount has been used. Nitish Kumar always claims there’s zero corruption in his government. Then why hasn't his administration submitted proper records to the CAG?" Yadav asked.

Taking aim at the upcoming visit of Union Home Minister Amit Shah to Sitamarhi, Tejashwi challenged the BJP leadership.

He said, "Will Amit Shah question the Nitish-BJP government’s rampant corruption, or will he defend it?"

Tejashwi also ridiculed the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list, accusing the Election Commission of working in tandem with the BJP to manipulate electoral rolls.

"Fake certificates are being issued. A residence certificate was issued to 'Dog Babu', and a Sonalika tractor was registered with the photo of Bhojpuri actress Monalisa. In the past, even Sunny Leone was issued a certificate in Bihar,” Yadav said.

He asserted that such blatant irregularities had taken place in the Special Intensive Revision of the voter list, and it reflects an attempt to steal votes in the upcoming Assembly elections.

The Dog Babu voter certificate issue is hilarious but also concerning 😅 EC needs to answer for these lapses. But will INDIA bloc's rallies actually convert to votes? Bihar needs development, not just rhetoric.

As a Bihari, I'm tired of this political circus. First Nitish jumps alliances, now Tejashwi talks of 'Kranti'. Where are the jobs? Where's the infrastructure? Stop fooling people with rallies and show concrete plans!

The ₹80,000 crore scam needs proper investigation. But I wonder if Tejashwi would be this vocal if his father was still in power. Opposition always finds corruption when they're not in government 🤔

Sunny Leone voter certificate? Seriously? 😂 This shows how messed up our system is. But will INDIA bloc do any better? Rahul Gandhi's rallies haven't worked elsewhere, why will Bihar be different?

Respectfully disagree with Tejashwi's approach. Instead of just criticizing, opposition should present alternative policies. Bihar needs solutions, not just blame games. Hope these rallies address real issues like education and healthcare.
