New Delhi, May 19 (NationPress) BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal stated on Monday that the recent merger of former Union Minister R.C.P. Singh's party with Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) will not change the NDA's established trust in Bihar.
Jaiswal expressed his confidence in the ruling NDA's standing in Bihar, referencing the alliance’s strong track record in governance and development. He dismissed the political strategies of opposition parties, claiming they would have no effect on the NDA’s popularity in the region.
“The NDA has gained the trust of the people of Bihar through its actions. The alliances formed are inconsequential. Under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, Bihar has experienced remarkable development. The per capita income surged from Rs 7,000 to Rs 66,000, and the development budget skyrocketed from Rs 20,000 crore to Rs 3 lakh crore. The populace is aware of this and will vote for NDA candidates decisively,” Jaiswal stated.
Previously on Sunday, former Union Minister Ramchandra Prasad Singh, known as RCP Singh, allied with his former adversary Prashant Kishor, merging his less-known Aap Sabki Awaaz Party with Kishor’s JSP.
Regarding the controversy over Trinamool Congress’ decision to remove former cricketer Yusuf Pathan from all-party delegations' global outreach against terrorism, Jaiswal accused West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee of being politically insecure.
“It is unfortunate that even international representation is politicized in this country. When Narasimha Rao sent Atal Bihari Vajpayee to the UN, it was not a party issue but a national one. Yusuf Pathan holds significant appeal in Commonwealth nations. However, if Mamata Banerjee perceives anyone's rising popularity, they swiftly become her target. That’s why TMC excluded his name,” he said.
Jaiswal also endorsed India's recent decision to impose restrictions on imports of plastic and ready-made garments from Bangladesh.
“Certainly, this action was essential. If Bangladesh imposes an 80 percent duty on its goods while charging 180 percent on Indian products coming from Tripura to Kolkata, that’s unjust. If Bangladesh wishes to benefit from India's infrastructure, it must ensure equal access and tax parity,” he asserted.
Point of View
I believe it is crucial to recognize the NDA's established trust in Bihar, shaped by its developmental initiatives. Political alliances may shift, but the public's perception of governance and growth remains a decisive factor in elections. The ongoing political landscape requires careful analysis, and we must remain committed to representing the nation's interests.
