Statements from BJP Leaders
At a press conference, Dilip Jaiswal praised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, calling him a “Social Engineer” who has brought major changes in 27 sectors of governance. He said these reforms have benefited millions of people across Bihar. He also criticized the opposition parties, accusing them of ignoring Bihar’s progress and distracting people with divisive politics.
Opposition’s Move
Meanwhile, the Congress party has started its own campaign named “Voter Adhikar Yatra” from Sasaram. This campaign protests against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of the Bihar voter list, claiming it impacts voter rights.
