Rahul Gandhi alleges that the BJP has rigged the Maharashtra elections, creating a political storm. Rahul's article, published in an English newspaper, charges the BJP with manipulating results to their advantage. Reacting sharply, BJP President Jagat Prakash Nadda accused him of fabricating narratives out of desperation over consecutive electoral defeats.
JP Nadda stated on 'X', 'Rahul Gandhi's latest article is a blueprint for crafting false stories due to his melancholy and frustration from losing election after election.' He detailed,
Step 1: His actions lead the Congress party to defeat in every election. Step 2: Instead of introspection, he concocts bizarre conspiracies and alleges fraud. Step 3: He overlooks all data and facts. Step 4: He defames institutions without evidence. Step 5: He hopes for more headlines than facing facts.
Despite repeated exposure, he shamelessly spreads lies, fearing an inevitable defeat in Bihar. Democracy demands truth, not dramatics.
Chirag confident of Bihar loss: Chirag
Meanwhile, Chirag Paswan, National President of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) and NDA leader, launched a scathing attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi following the article. He said that Rahul Gandhi already knows that defeat looms for the Congress and the INDIA coalition in Bihar, which is why he's preemptively accusing electoral irregularities in Maharashtra.
Chirag commented, 'Rahul Gandhi couldn't use the EVM excuse anymore, so he's invented a new one, claiming fake voters are being created. This is a sign of his desperation.' He asserted that Rahul Gandhi has accepted defeat in Bihar and is attempting to divert attention from real issues.
Chirag expresses concern over rising crime
Speaking on the increasing crime rates in Bihar, Chirag Paswan emphasized that controlling crime is the responsibility of the Bihar government. While not part of the government, he acknowledged the issue's importance to the public and his concern regarding it.
CM's position is stable
Dismissing rumors of a rift within the NDA, Chirag stated, 'For those spreading misinformation that I have my eyes on the Chief Minister's seat, let me clarify that the CM's chair is completely stable. The government will continue under Nitish Kumar's leadership in the foreseeable future.'
Party to decide on election candidacy
When questioned about his own electoral contestation, Chirag Paswan said, 'The decision on whether and where I will contest elections will be made by my party's parliamentary board.'
Chirag Paswan expressed confidence that post-elections, NDA under Nitish Kumar will form a stable government in Bihar once again.
