Bihar Political Row: Congress vs BJP Over “Unfair” Remarks
The political heat in Bihar has intensified after Congress leaders Digvijaya Singh and Robert Vadra made controversial statements about the state’s governance. The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) swiftly countered, accusing the Congress of undermining Bihar’s progress. Here’s a detailed look at the escalating debate.
Digvijaya Singh’s “Unfair” Comment on Bihar
Senior Congress leader Digvijaya Singh triggered a backlash by describing Bihar’s political climate as “unfair.” Speaking at an event, he reportedly criticized the NDA government’s policies, claiming they weakened democratic values. Though Singh later clarified his remarks were “misinterpreted,” the BJP seized the opportunity to attack Congress.
Robert Vadra’s Social Media Post Adds Fuel to Fire
Robert Vadra, Sonia Gandhi’s son-in-law, amplified the controversy by echoing concerns about Bihar’s development. His social media post, perceived as dismissive by critics, went viral, prompting sharp reactions from BJP leaders.
BJP’s Sharp Counterattack
Union Minister Giriraj Singh led BJP’s rebuttal, slamming Congress for “disrespecting Bihar.” He said, “Congress has a history of neglecting Bihar yet mocking its progress under CM Nitish Kumar.”
BJP spokesperson Sambit Patra called the remarks “elitist,” citing Bihar’s infrastructure growth and women’s safety initiatives. “Instead of false allegations, Congress must apologize,” he demanded.
JD(U) & Allies Back BJP’s Stand
JD(U) leader KC Tyagi defended Bihar’s progress, saying, “Nitish Kumar’s leadership has transformed Bihar—Congress’s frustration shows their irrelevance.”
Public & Social Media Reactions
While some support Congress’s critique of unemployment and migration, others see it as a political stunt. Hashtags like #RespectBihar and #CongressInsultsBihar trended, reflecting divided opinions.
Bihar’s Role in 2024 Elections
With Lok Sabha polls nearing, Bihar remains a key battleground. The BJP may use this controversy to paint Congress as anti-Bihar, while opposition parties push back on governance issues.
Conclusion: A Political Tug-of-War
The verbal clash highlights Bihar’s electoral significance. As rhetoric escalates, the fallout could influence voter sentiment ahead of 2024.
