The political climate in Bihar is heating up due to the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of voters. The situation has sparked a war of words between the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) and the NDA in the state. MP Upendra Kushwaha launched a strong attack on the Mahagathbandhan. Union Minister Giriraj Singh targeted Rahul Gandhi. Furthermore, the Aam Aadmi Party is criticizing the Bihar government over the CAG report.
Upendra Kushwaha, the head of the Rashtriya Lok Morcha, criticized the Mahagathbandhan, stating that they are raising concerns about vote theft in the assembly, but they lack the votes themselves. He also commented on the Mahagathbandhan’s planned rallies and marches regarding the voter list, saying they have the right to do so, but it won’t make a difference as the public has decided to bring the NDA back to power.
Giriraj Singh questioned Rahul Gandhi’s victory, suggesting it was due to ‘invisible voters’. He stated that questioning the Election Commission’s integrity is wrong. He also commented on the proposed padyatra (foot march) by Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, implying that their coordination might not last long.
The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) staged a protest in front of the local Enforcement Directorate (ED) office in Bihar, led by the state president, Rakesh Yadav, against the Bihar government over alleged financial discrepancies highlighted in the CAG report. The AAP alleges the NDA government is responsible for a ₹71,000 crore scam. The CAG report indicates that the Bihar government could not account for approximately ₹71,000 crore. The report stated that without the proper certificates, it can be assumed that the funds have been misappropriated.
