The battle for Bihar Assembly elections 2025 is going on in full swing. Today (6 November), while the public is giving its verdict on 121 seats in the first phase, vigorous campaigning by political parties is also going on for the second phase. In this connection, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi addressed an election rally in Kasba of Purnia, where a very emotional moment was seen amidst sharp political attacks.
When candidates became emotional on stage
As soon as local Congress candidate Irfan Alam took the mike after Rahul Gandhi’s speech, he could not control his emotions and started crying. He said with a heavy heart, “Sir… for the first time in my life, I have got a chance to speak on such a big platform. You have given a ticket to the son of a letter deliverer.” On hearing this, the leaders present on the stage and the workers who came to the rally also became emotional.
Direct attack on Nitish, serious allegation of ‘vote theft’
In his address, Rahul Gandhi fiercely targeted Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the Central Government. He said, “Nitish Kumar has been the Chief Minister for 20 years, but he has turned the youth of Bihar into mere labourers. There is no land to set up industries here, but for Adani, land is land.”
After this Rahul Gandhi made a sensational allegation of ‘vote theft’. He said, “Votes are being stolen across the country. In Haryana, the photograph of one woman was printed 200 times in the voter list, that of another 100 times. There are thousands of people who vote in UP as well as in Haryana. The extent is that a woman from Brazil is also a voter of Haryana.” He claimed that like Maharashtra and Haryana, a big conspiracy of vote theft is going on in Bihar and the names of supporters of ‘Grand Alliance’ are being removed from the voter list. He appealed to the people to stop this ‘vote theft’ and protect democracy.
Question asked to the youth of Bihar
Addressing the youth, Rahul Gandhi said, “Wherever I go in the country, I meet people from Bihar. You built cities like Dubai and Bengaluru with your blood and sweat. When you can do it there, why not in your own Bihar?”
Recalling the glorious past of Bihar, he said, “There was a time when people of the world used to come from Japan, Korea, England to study in Nalanda University. Bihar was the center of world education. And today? Today the name of Bihar University comes only for paper leaks. Those who have settings, they get the papers and the rest of the youth just keep watching.”
The first phase of voting and the intense campaigning of the second phase have completely heated up the election atmosphere of Bihar.
