Patna, April 25, 2024: On the eve of the second phase of Lok Sabha polling in Bihar, Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav sharpened his attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, releasing a video on the social media platform X on Thursday with five pointed questions.
Tejashwi Yadav asked why the Prime Minister wants to finish the Constitution and democracy of the country, referring to a video shared earlier by RJD and Lalu Prasad Yadav claiming BJP leaders had spoken about changing the constitution if re-elected.
Tejashwi Yadav on reservation:
The RJD leader further questioned why the BJP government was allegedly trying to snatch reservations of Dalits, backward castes, the poor and deprived, and accused the Centre of policies that make the poor poorer and the rich richer.
He also demanded to know what Bihar had gained despite 39 out of 40 Lok Sabha seats going to the BJP-led NDA in 2019, and criticized PM Modi for avoiding real issues during his rallies in the state.
Polling will be held for the five seats in the second phase:
Polling in the second phase will be held from 7 AM on Friday across five constituencies, including Purnea, Kishanganj, Katihar, Bhagalpur and Banka, where several key triangular contests are unfolding.
In Purnea, Santosh Kushwaha of JDU will contest against RJD’s Bima Bharti and independent Rajesh Ranjan alias Pappu Yadav.
In Kishanganj, the contest is between Mohammad Jawaid of Congress against Akhtaral Iman of AIMIM and Mozahid Alam of JDU.
In Katihar, Tarik Anwar of Congress is contesting against Dulal Chandra Goswami of JDU.
In Bhagalpur, Ajeet Sharma of Congress is contesting against Ajay Kumar Mandal of JDU.
In Banka, Jay Prakash Narayan of RJD is contesting against Giridhari Yadav of JDU.
Campaigning for these seats ended at 5 PM on Wednesday, setting the stage for a crucial round of voting in Bihar’s high-stakes electoral battle.
