Vijay Kumar Sinha's Strong Remarks
Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister, Vijay Kumar Sinha, expressed sharp criticism of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Friday, labeling him and the opposition leader in Bihar as symbols of chaos who disregard democratic principles and constitutional norms. Sinha accused both leaders of attempting to secure votes through theatrical politics, particularly in light of the upcoming assembly elections in Bihar, referring to them as 'drama artists.'
Allegations Against Opposition Leaders
The BJP leader stated that both the national opposition leader and Bihar's opposition leader epitomize disorder, asserting that neither believes in democracy nor adheres to constitutional regulations. He claimed that in their quest to play the role of actors, they mock the constitution. Sinha emphasized that the public, both nationally and in Bihar, recognizes these individuals as mere electoral dramatists.
Context of the Criticism
This criticism follows Rahul Gandhi's recent visit to Darbhanga, where he engaged with students and discussed issues such as caste census and reservations. Despite not receiving permission from the Bihar police, the opposition leader delivered a speech at the Ambedkar hostel in Darbhanga on Thursday, leading to the district administration filing a case against him. He highlighted the importance of social justice and criticized government policies, asserting that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was compelled to announce the caste census due to public pressure.
