Bihar Assembly elections: Jan Suraaj Party chief Prashant Kishor on Thursday attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of mocking Biharis while sitting in Delhi. Citing Congress CM in Telangana, Revanth Reddy Reddy's derogatory remark on Biharis, the Jan Suraaj Party founder sought an apology from Gandhi. He also dared him to spend a night in a village in Bihar.

In an interview with news agency ANI, Kishor said, "Has Rahul Gandhi spent even one night in a village in Bihar? He sits in Delhi, mocks Biharis, then comes here to lecture us." After becoming the CM, Revanth Reddy said that labouring is in the DNA of Biharis, he alleged.

Kishor Reminds Gandhi Of His Father's Promise To Bihar

"They say that Biharis were born to do labour and then come to Bihar to lecture them?... Rajiv Gandhi had announced from the Gandhi Maidan in 1989 that he would give Rs 50,000 crore for the development of Bihar... Where did that money go?... After that, Congress was in power at the centre for 15 years. What did they do for Bihar then," he asked.

Speaking at a massive public gathering in Barhara, Kishor, while targeting Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad, said the 30-35 years of their rule have pushed Bihar into backwardness, turning it into a labour-exporting state. “Children from Ara and Bhojpur are being forced to go to Gujarat to work as labourers.

Meanwhile, PM Modi is taking your votes but building factories in Gujarat,” Kishor said, questioning the crowd. “When the vote is yours, why are the factories in Gujarat and not in Bihar?” he asked. The crowd responded enthusiastically, raising hands in agreement.

In a passionate appeal, Kishor urged voters to break away from traditional political loyalties. “Don’t vote for leaders who have looted you and your children’s future. Next time, vote not for Lalu Prasad Yadav, Nitish Kumar, or PM Modi, but for the education and employment of your children,” Kishor said.
