In Bihar rallies, Rahul Gandhi targets NDA over jobs, Covid crisis

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday campaigned in poll-bound Bihar where he attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and chief minister Nitish Kumar, alleging that they have looted the people of the state. “Every youth of Bihar knows that Narendra Modi and Nitishji have together looted Bihar. They have destroyed Bihar’s small shopkeepers. And now the youth and the farmer of Bihar have decided to vote for Grand Alliance,” he said while addressing his rally in Korha.

He hit out at the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over the issues of employment, coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis, migrant exodus and Centre’s farm laws.  Gandhi pointed out neither Modi nor Kumar did anything to help migrant workers when they were walking thousands of kilometres to return homes during the lockdown. “The Congress had arranged buses for the movement of migrant workers. We are not in power so we could not do it for millions, but we helped as many people as we could,” the he added.Gandhi also alleged the three recently implemented farm laws by the central government only catered to industrialists and not farmers, adding that PM Modi wants to destroy the system of procurement, mandis and Minimum Support Price (MSP) to serve those at the top.
