Congress Leader Alleges Nitish Kumar Prioritizes Power Over People
A politician named Sachin Pilot from the Congress party is saying that the current leader of Bihar, Nitish Kumar, cares more about staying in power than about the people he governs.
Pilot mentioned that Nitish Kumar used to send bitten nails to the Prime Minister as a protest, but now seems to be under the influence of the ruling party, the BJP.
Pilot also questioned the Prime Minister's promises to Bihar, like a big financial package and jobs, saying they haven't happened.
He believes the current government has failed and that only a change can help the state, which is facing problems like people leaving for work and lack of jobs.
Pilot expressed confidence that his political group, the INDIA bloc, will win the upcoming elections in Bihar.
Congress leader Sachin Pilot accused Bihar CM Nitish Kumar of prioritizing power over the welfare of the state's citizens.
Pilot criticized the NDA's 'double engine' government, stating it has failed and that the BJP relies on allies.
He questioned Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unfulfilled promises to Bihar, including a large financial package and job creation.
Pilot alleged that the NDA is making new false promises while old ones remain unfulfilled, and that Bihar suffers from migration and unemployment.
He expressed confidence that the INDIA bloc will win the Bihar Assembly elections and fulfill its manifesto promises, including job provision.
