Prashant Kishor Questions Rahul Gandhi on Bihar Poll Job Promise
Prashant Kishor, who has his own political party, is asking questions about promises made by a different group of politicians.
This group, which includes Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, promised that every family in Bihar would get a government job.
Kishor says this sounds impossible and asks Rahul Gandhi how this would actually work, especially since they also promised money to women.
He also wonders why these promises aren't being made in states where Rahul Gandhi's party is already in charge.
Kishor suggests that maybe Rahul Gandhi doesn't fully support these big promises from his allies, as he wasn't even at the event where the promises were announced.
Tejashwi Yadav, however, says these plans were made after talking to experts.
Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party has questioned the INDIA bloc's promise of one government job per family in Bihar.
Kishor specifically directed his questions towards Rahul Gandhi, asking about the economic model to provide 3.5 crore jobs.
He also questioned the promise of ₹2,500 to each woman and Rahul Gandhi's absence from the manifesto release event.
Kishor pointed out that Congress, if in power in states like Karnataka and Himachal Pradesh, has not made similar promises.
Tejashwi Yadav stated that the opposition's promises were made after consultation with experts.
