Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday launched a scathing attack on the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and accused them of making Bihar a mess, ruining education, neglecting employment and misleading the public with false promises of one crore jobs. Addressing a press conference in Patna, Bihar, the Congress president said, “They have made Bihar a mess. They have ruined schools. We do not have teachers, and today there are no jobs in the entire country. 50 lakh jobs are vacant in universities, police, central police, railways and the Government of India. They should recruit people. They are not recruiting, and here they are talking about one crore jobs.”

Praising the voters of Bihar, Kharge said, “So this time the public will teach a lesson to such liars. Bihar is a politically conscious state. There may be poverty and unemployment here, but politically everyone is very intelligent. They know when to vote, how to vote and whom to vote for.” Earlier today, while addressing a public meeting in Raja Pakar, Bihar, Kharge targeted Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and raised questions on his long tenure and effectiveness. Kharge said, “You could not end Jungle Raj in 20 years? Despite all your abuses, Congress and RJD are winning elections from here. What Nitish Kumar could not do in his 20 years of rule, will he do now?”

In a sharp political attack, Kharge said Prime Minister Narendra Modi will not make Nitish Kumar the chief minister “at any cost”. Kharge said, “Prime Minister Modi is not going to make Nitish Kumar the Chief Minister. He will bring one of his disciples and put him on the chair. He will say, ‘Your work is done, you are not well, you stay at home.'” Voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on 14 November.
