Foil ‘vote chori’, make INDIA bloc win: Rahul Gandhi on Bihar polls

New Delhi: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi reiterated the charge of “vote korisi” (vote theft) at an election rally on the last day of the Bihar assembly election campaign and appealed to voters in the state to prevent such attempts on the polling day.

At a rally in Purnea, Gandhi said, “I have alleged that Modi and the chief election commissioner are stealing votes and neither of them can deny it because the allegations are absolutely true… I request you to be alert and block any such attempt in Bihar. If you block vote choirs, the INDIA bloc will form a 100 per cent government in Bihar.” Gandhi, who is also the leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, said that the district is facing the clash of two ideologies. “On one side, we have the RSS, which wants to divide the nation based on caste, religion, region, language and gender; on the other hand, we have the Congress party and Mahagathbandhan, which want to unite the country by bringing together people of all faiths and communities.” Accusing the BJP of indulging in the politics of spreading hatred, the Congress leader said that he and his party, along with other opposition allies, were working to create an atmosphere of love and peace.

Gandhi also said that the Modi government at the Center and the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar have failed to create jobs for the youth and instead made them dependent on social media reels. He promised that if the opposition alliance wins, his government will create jobs for the youth in Bihar and develop the state as an education hub.
