New Delhi, Oct 10 (NationPress) In response to the Congress party's 'charge sheet' against the Nitish Kumar-led Bihar government, prominent BJP figure Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi criticized the long-standing party for its hypocrisy and highlighted its own 'tainted history' that stretches over six decades.

Speaking to IANS, Naqvi remarked, “If they have presented a charge sheet, then the public will undoubtedly discuss their own past, which is rife with corruption and misgovernance. A tainted track record of at least sixty years. If the truth emerges, it will resonate widely.

This statement follows Congress’s accusation that the ruling NDA has brought about 'destruction' in Bihar over its 20-year governance. The party claimed that corruption is widespread, while essential sectors like healthcare and education have seen a decline. The opposition also condemned the government's approach towards social justice and caste surveys.

Naqvi dismissed the allegations, stating, “If they are presenting a charge sheet of misgovernance and corruption, filled with confusion and conspiracy—who would even trust it? One cannot attain power with fabricated narratives and such misleading documents. The public is not buying it.”

He added, “Today, whether in Bihar or throughout the nation, the atmosphere is positive and constructive. In every election during this period, the BJP and the NDA have consistently garnered public support and repeated their victories. Conversely, Congress and its allies continue to encounter rejection and then audaciously seek another mandate. These lackluster players will lose even in a fixed match.

In response to West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee’s recent comments alleging that the BJP is trying to implement the National Register of Citizens (NRC) under a new guise, Naqvi said, “Whether it’s Mamata Banerjee, Congress, or others—they should steer clear of this criminal conspiracy of imaginary confusion. First, it was the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), then NRC, and now something else. Such confusion is manufactured one after another, with baseless claims that people’s citizenship or voting rights will be revoked. It’s all become like a spent gun and cartridge. These conspiracies inflate like balloons and ultimately burst. It’s time they ceased misleading the public,” Naqvi told IANS.

Commenting on Akhilesh Yadav meeting Azam Khan in Rampur, Naqvi remarked that the public exchanges between the two illustrate disarray within the party. Akhilesh Yadav recently met with Khan and claimed that he is the heartbeat of the party.

“This is their internal matter. Previously, we heard about disputes; now it’s like: ‘I resisted, then I loved, then I argued, and finally I surrendered.’ This drama keeps unfolding,” he added.

He continued, “Azam Khan is a senior leader. There should be coordination and harmony among leaders. If that’s absent, you can envision the state of the party.”

Naqvi advised the veteran leader, “I would suggest to Azam Sahab not to leave his home and venture elsewhere. Focus on mending things at home, organizing the dispersed pieces, repairing the broken bonds, and coexisting. That’s in the best interest of both the party and the nation. Whether it’s the Samajwadi Party or any other opposition group, we desire them to be strong, not helpless.”

Naqvi also commented on BSP supremo Mayawati’s recent remarks during a significant rally in Lucknow, where she commended the Yogi Adityanath government while sharply criticizing Akhilesh Yadav, particularly regarding Dalit issues.

“I won’t comment on what Mayawati stated in her rally or whether it was a political maneuver. However, perhaps she has once again recalled how the then-government safeguarded the government guest house back in the day,” she added.
