Patna, Read: Political heat was seen during a program organized at Bapu Auditorium in Patna, the capital of Bihar, when Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge made a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the Central Government. In this function organized on the occasion of the 139th birth anniversary of the first Chief Minister of Bihar, Dr. Shri Krishna Singh (Shri Babu), not only was there loud sloganeering during Kharge's speech, but a situation of uproar also arose.
Controversial statement on PM Modi and ruckus in the program
During the program, when Kharge was talking about the current political situation of the country and the policies of the Central Government, he targeted the governments of Bengal, Bihar, Maharashtra and Haryana. Kharge termed these governments as “stolen governments” and “vote-stealing governments”.
Meanwhile, a person present in Bapu Auditorium said loudly, “Modi will never go.” Responding immediately from the stage, Kharge said in a thunderous manner, “Modi's father will also go!” After this statement of Kharge, loud sloganeering started among the workers and people present in the auditorium and the atmosphere of commotion continued for a long time.
Listen to what Mallikarjun Kharge said in the viral video
Sharp attack on inflation, Parliament and Rahul Gandhi
Taking his point forward, the Congress President raised the issue of rising inflation in the country. He said that today inflation has reached its peak. The poor man who earlier used to eat dal and roti, is now forced to eat onion and roti because pulses are expensive, but the government has increased the prices of onion so much that it is like cutting the throat of the common people.
Referring to parliamentary proceedings, Kharge alleged that when Parliament is in session, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah do not come inside out of fear. He said, “Rahul Gandhi has now gone out for some work, when he returns, he will repair these people properly. People of BJP only see Rahul Gandhi in their dreams.”
Remembered Babu's contribution, targeted RSS
Kharge paid tribute to the first Chief Minister of Bihar, Krishna Singh, and praised the social and economic reforms done by him. Kharge said that Babu strengthened democracy and worked for the advancement of weaker sections. He said that Babu himself came from the Bhumihar caste and at that time people from his community were the big landowners, yet for the sake of social justice he abolished the Zamindari system and implemented land reforms.
He further said that it was during Babu's tenure that industries and factories were established in Bihar. He campaigned against untouchability and got Dalits admitted into Baba Baidyanath Dham. Taking aim at RSS and BJP, Kharge said that even today these organizations are filled with people with the mentality of untouchability and peace cannot be established until the influence of RSS is eliminated from the country.
Mention of Nitish Kumar and Haldwani incident
Taking a dig at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Kharge said that those who once used to be the flag bearers of socialist ideology, have today sat in the lap of BJP and RSS. Only when ideology is weak, leaders adopt such a stance. Reminding the sacrifices of Congress, he said that Congress has made sacrifices for the country, Mahatma Gandhi, Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi have given their lives, and today Rahul Gandhi is fighting for the country.
Apart from this, he mentioned an incident that took place on August 8, 2026 in Haldwani, Uttarakhand and said that the stage was 'purified' after a havan program. Even after so many years of independence, if such untouchable mentality exists in the society, then it is a matter of serious concern. Kharge alleged that till date Prime Minister Modi has not broken his silence on this issue of purification.
Appeal to save the Constitution and democracy
At the end of the speech, Kharge alleged that there is a deep nexus between the Central Government and the Election Commission and the government has brought a new law to protect the Chief Election Commissioner. He called upon the people of the country and the people of Bihar to take to the streets and protect their rights and the Constitution. Kharge said that today not democracy but dictatorship is being run in the country, against which everyone will have to fight together.
