Bhagalpur (Bihar), Nov 9 (NationPress) BJP MP Nishikant Dubey directed his criticism towards the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi, concerning the recent allegations of "vote chori". He stated that the citizens of Bihar are "exhausted" from hearing the remarks made by the Congress MP.

In an interview with IANS, Dubey also condemned Gandhi for urging the 'Gen Z' voters to influence Bihar's future amidst the "vote chori" controversy, asserting that the youth will "respond appropriately" to the Opposition during the Bihar Assembly elections.

Additionally, he commented on Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra’s participation in the Tharu dance with locals in West Champaran, remarks made by Telangana CM Revanth Reddy regarding the connection between Congress and Muslims, and the influx of Bangladeshi infiltrators.

IANS: The Lok Sabha LoP Rahul Gandhi has once again raised accusations of "vote chori". What is your perspective on this?

Nishikant Dubey: Rahul Gandhi should reflect on his family's history regarding vote theft. In 1982, Chaudhary Devi Lal secured 45 MLAs in a 90-member Haryana Assembly while Congress only garnered 31. G.D. Tapase swore in Bhajan Lal as Chief Minister. Devi Lal’s actions were unprecedented. There are numerous instances of vote theft.

The legacy of the entire Gandhi family is entwined with vote theft. That’s why Rahul is making such outcries, and the people of Bihar have had enough. They might secure two or three seats this time, which would be significant in Bihar. Following this, the alliance between the RJD and Congress is likely to collapse permanently.

IANS: What do you think is the reason behind Rahul Gandhi's frequent travels abroad? He also recently called on 'Gen Z' voters to shape Bihar's future during the "vote chori" controversy. What is your take?

Nishikant Dubey: Just because Rahul Gandhi is unmarried doesn’t mean he remains youthful. His age aligns with mine, and my sons are ready to marry soon. Does that make them old? He visits Cambodia and Vietnam, claiming his family has no assets. Where is he sourcing funds for these trips?

The youth, or 'Gen Z', finds it challenging to comprehend how someone aged 55-56 can still be considered young. I am also of a similar age and feel the effects of aging. You may be unmarried, Rahul, but it doesn’t equate to youthfulness. 'Gen Z' will deliver a fitting reply.

IANS: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra joined locals in West Champaran for the Tharu dance, while Rahul Gandhi recently suggested that "PM Modi can dance for votes". What is your opinion?

Nishikant Dubey: If Priyanka Gandhi dances well, that's commendable; she's our fellow MP. However, Rahul Gandhi's comments about the Prime Minister are highly inappropriate and subjective. Whenever his parents visited the Northeast, they too were seen dancing. Were they doing it for votes?

This statement indicates that Rahul Gandhi disregards Indian civilization and culture. His comments about the Prime Minister reflect the lack of good values instilled by the Gandhi family, raising questions about his character.

IANS: You've mentioned that Bangladeshis are dominating three districts in Bihar. Could you elaborate?

Nishikant Dubey: I highlighted three districts in Bihar: Kishanganj, Araria, and Katihar, with potential reach to Purnea. Additionally, West Bengal's Malda, Murshidabad, Dinajpur, Pakur, Sahebganj, and Jamtara are inundated with Bangladeshi infiltrators, which is alarming.

Historically, Santhal tribals made up 45% of the population in 1951, but today they account for only 26-27%. After the next census, this may drop to 22-23%. Every political party discusses Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes, yet the tribal population is diminishing. Where are they disappearing to?

Muslims constituted 9% of the population, now they are at 26%. Who are these Muslims? The resources such as water, forests, and land belonging to our tribal and Scheduled Caste brothers have been encroached upon by Bangladeshis. Who can control this?

Whether it’s Congress, Trinamool Congress, Rashtriya Janata Dal, or VIP party, all are indulging in vote bank politics. They are engaging in pro-Pakistan and pro-Bangladesh rhetoric, doing injustice to Hindus solely to secure Muslim votes. This election will deliver a strong counteraction against their pro-Muslim agenda.

IANS: Telangana CM Revanth Reddy stated that "Congress means Muslims, and Muslims mean Congress". What’s your opinion?

Nishikant Dubey: Revanth is a dear friend who has worked alongside us. His sentiments reflect a reality that Congress is detached from Hindutva and focuses solely on Muslims. He has voiced the truth.

IANS: Congress national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate has accused journalists of "kissing the feet" of the government and labeled them as "brokers". What’s your perspective?

Nishikant Dubey: Supriya herself was a journalist; who knows, she could have been a broker in the past.
