Patna, Feb 15 (NationPress) The president of Bihar BJP and Minister for Revenue and Land Reforms, Dilip Kumar Jaiswal, condemned RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family, alleging their promotion of dynastic politics.
During a workers' conference held in Khagaria, Jaiswal mockingly stated that the 'rule of Kauravas' will not make a comeback in Bihar, highlighting that the state's residents have progressed beyond the era represented by the lantern (the election symbol of RJD) and currently support the NDA, which he attributes for the advancements in electricity and development in the area.
“Individuals who advocate for social justice begin discussing family ties when they hold power, and once they lose it, they revert to social justice rhetoric,” Jaiswal remarked, labeling RJD as the Kauravas of Bihar.
Jaiswal also targeted RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav for his Mai-Bahin Maan Yojana and critiqued the political strategies of Delhi’s former Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal.
“Kejriwal's strategy of providing free offerings resulted in his downfall with Delhi's voters, suggesting a similar fate could be in store for Yadav in Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav has become a follower of Arvind Kejriwal,” Jaiswal stated.
He particularly focused on Yadav's proposed 'Mai-Bahan Maan Yojana', which promises a monthly stipend of Rs 2,500 to women if the RJD comes to power.
Jaiswal questioned the practicality of such promises, asserting that under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, women in Bihar are becoming so empowered that they might end up giving Rs 2,500 to Yadav instead.
Similarly, Jaiswal stressed that the public has greater faith in the assurances given by Prime Minister Narendra Modi than in the pledges made by leaders of the opposition.
When journalists inquired about the Waqf Amendment Bill, they asked JDU state president Umesh Singh Kushwaha why Islamic scholars claimed JDU might face electoral backlash for endorsing the bill.
Kushwaha rejected these allegations, accusing those scholars of exploiting Muslim votes. He defended Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's record, claiming that no other leader in independent India has accomplished as much for the minority community as Kumar.
