Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday took a dig at Bihar라이브 바카라 Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, alleging that the latter switches side for kursi (chair) and that the alliance between the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and ruling Janata Dal United (JD(U)) is “opportunistic.”

Kharge was speaking at the ‘Jai Bapu, Jai Bhim, Jai Samvidhan’ rally at the Dalsagar stadium in Buxar, urging the citizens to vote out JD(U) from power in the upcoming Bihar elections later this year and bringing 'Mahagathbandhan’ parties to power.

“The alliance between Nitish Kumar and the BJP is opportunistic. It is not good for the people of the State. Nitish Kumar switches sides just for kursi. The JD(U) chief has joined hands with the ideology that killed Mahatma Gandhi," he said.

He also spoke about Prime Minister Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 financial promises  ₹1.25 lakh crore package for Bihar which Kharge claimed remains unfulfilled.

“People of Bihar must ask Nitish Kumar what happened to Prime Minister Narendra Modi라이브 바카라 promise of ₹1.25 lakh crore package for Bihar, which he had made on August 18, 2015? Modi Ji is running a factory of lies," he asked.

He also mentioned that the ruling alliance focuses on divisive and communal politics rather than development, saying that the most discussed topic in the Parliament라이브 바카라 Budget session was the Waqf bill.  “Modi Ji and the BJP leaders feel that if votes can be obtained by talking about Hindus and Muslims and misleading the public, then what is the need to work?” he said.

Addressing the National Herald case, the Congress President said that this was another attempt to politically attack the Congress leadership. “Our leaders can’t be scared. Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi sacrificed their lives for the country.”

He also said that the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) - the ideological-organizational parent of BJP - is against welfare of weaker sections of society.

“They are against the poor, women, and the weaker sections of society….they (RSS-BJP) can’t think for the betterment of society. They believe in dividing society based on caste and religion”, he claimed. "The Waqf (Amendment) Bill passed by Parliament is a conspiracy of the BJP and the RSS to create divide among communities," he claimed.
