We Won’t Let BJP Steal Bihar Election: Rahul Gandhi
The upcoming Bihar Assembly Elections have sparked a heated political debate in the country, with opposition parties vying for power against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). In a recent statement, Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has warned that the opposition will not allow the BJP to steal the election in Bihar, citing the party’s alleged manipulation of previous polls.
Speaking to the media, Gandhi claimed that the BJP has a history of election fraud, having allegedly stolen the election in Maharashtra, Haryana, and even the Lok Sabha polls. He further stated that the party is feeling threatened by the Voter Adhikar Yatra, a massive voter outreach program launched by the opposition parties to mobilize voters and ensure their rights.
“In Maharashtra, they stole the election. In Haryana, they stole the election. They stole votes in the Lok Sabha election. And now, they are trying to steal the Bihar election,” Gandhi alleged, emphasizing that the opposition will not let the BJP get away with it.
The Congress leader’s statement comes at a time when the opposition is gaining momentum in the state, with several high-profile leaders, including Tejashwi Yadav and Lalu Prasad Yadav, campaigning aggressively against the BJP. The ruling party, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, is facing criticism over its performance on issues such as unemployment, education, and healthcare.
Gandhi’s warning is seen as an attempt to galvanize the opposition’s campaign and rally voters against the BJP. His statement has also sparked a sharp reaction from the BJP, with party leaders accusing him of making baseless allegations and trying to divert attention from the opposition’s internal issues.
The BJP has been accused of using various tactics to influence the outcome of elections, including buying votes, rigging EVMs, and intimidating opposition candidates. While the party has denied these allegations, several instances of electoral malpractice have been reported in the past, including the 2014 Lok Sabha elections and the 2019 Haryana Assembly polls.
In Bihar, the opposition is banking on the Voter Adhikar Yatra to mobilize voters and ensure their participation in the election. The yatra, which began on August 22, is a 1,000-kilometer-long campaign that aims to reach out to voters across the state and listen to their grievances.
The yatra has received a massive response, with thousands of people attending rallies and meetings across the state. The opposition parties claim that the yatra has helped to galvanize the opposition’s campaign and energize voters, who are eager to defeat the BJP and bring about change in the state.
Gandhi’s statement is seen as a boost to the opposition’s morale, as it sends a clear message that the party will not tolerate any attempts to rig the election. The Congress leader’s warning has also put pressure on the Bihar Election Commission to ensure a free and fair poll, as well as to take measures to prevent any attempts to manipulate the electoral process.
In conclusion, Rahul Gandhi’s statement is a clear warning to the BJP that the opposition will not let the party steal the Bihar election. The BJP’s history of election fraud and manipulation has raised concerns about the fairness of the poll, and the opposition is determined to ensure that the election is conducted in a free and fair manner.
As the election campaign heats up, it remains to be seen whether the opposition’s efforts will pay off and whether the BJP will be able to retain power in the state. One thing is clear, however – the opposition will not back down and will fight tooth and nail to ensure that the election is fair and that the people of Bihar have a say in their future.
