Political rhetoric has intensified in Bihar regarding the proposed 'Chalo Delhi Ramlila March' rally of Indi Alliance. Leaders of Janata Dal United (JDU) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) have targeted Congress and Rahul Gandhi. JDU's national spokesperson Rajeev Ranjan accused Congress of adopting an obstinate attitude and forcibly imposing its views. At the same time, Minister Ramkripal Yadav and BJP leader Mrityunjay Tiwari took a dig at the opposition alliance regarding the proposed rally.
JDU national spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan said that Rahul Gandhi's habit of forcibly imposing his views is increasing and the Congress party is unable to see any option other than becoming a mute spectator and accepting his decisions. He said that in this festive season, business organizations had appealed to Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi to change the date of the movement.
Rajiv Ranjan said that due to agitation on the streets during festivals, common people and businessmen may have to face a lot of problems. If a movement is being carried out in the interest of the public but the public does not agree with its method and dates, then Congress should have no objection in making changes in it.
Raising questions on the style of Congress's movement, he said that during the earlier days of struggle, the slogan 'from streets to Parliament' used to be very popular, but now Congress is trying to bring Parliament to the streets. The proceedings of Parliament are being presented like a joke.
Rajeev Ranjan said that petitions regarding the working style of the Chief Election Commissioner and the Election Commission are already pending in the Supreme Court. In such a situation, this kind of movement of Congress also raises questions on its faith in the judiciary. Due to similar activities, Congress is going through its most difficult phase today.
At the same time, Minister Ramkripal Yadav took a dig at Indi alliance's 'Chalo Delhi Ramlila March' rally and said that who is going to go to Delhi on the call of Congress? He said that this rally will prove to be a complete flop.
Ramkripal Yadav said that rallies do not make much difference because the public's decision comes through elections. Taking aim at Congress, he said that the party was out at zero in the recently held Legislative Council elections. According to him, the public has already rejected Congress.
On the other hand, BJP leader Mrityunjay Tiwari termed the Indi alliance as a 'fraud' and said that the opposition parties should first improve their position and then talk about impeachment. He accused Rahul Gandhi and the opposition of alleging vote theft and spreading distrust towards constitutional institutions after losing in the elections.
