May 12, 2024
Patna (Bihar) [India], May 12 : Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav took a jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled roadshow in Patna on Sunday evening, and claimed that his (Tejashwi) party has held a job show while the PM is holding a roadshow.
PM Modi will lead a roadshow in Patna on Sunday evening, followed by three election rallies elsewhere in Bihar, a day later.
Speaking to ANI hours ahead of PM's roadshow, Yadav said, "He is doing a roadshow whereas we have done a job show. I want to appeal to the Prime Minister-- you have visited Bihar 8-10 times now, but you have not told people what you will do for Bihar in the next five years."
Further, Yadav claimed that he gave a tough fight to the BJP leader as he did nearly 140 rallies while BJP has called in several top leaders and CMs to do election campaigns in the state.
"Even though the Prime Minister is coming to Bihar, he has not fulfilled a single promise he made to the people of Bihar. He said he would give a special package, special attention, and special status to Bihar, what happened to these promises?... The Prime Minister is coming here, the Home Minister is coming here, Rajnath Singh is coming here, JP Nadda is coming here, Nitin Gadkari is coming here, CMs of various states are coming here, everyone is being brought to Bihar to campaign for BJP."
"Whereas we stand alone. I have organised nearly 140 public meetings. This means I am alone overpowering everyone else... Prime Minister's road show plan was changed many times. He is going through places that are heavily populated... BJP has been pushed out of villages," he added.
The roadshow will commence at the Income Tax office roundabout, situated a few hundred metres from the state BJP headquarters, and conclude at Udyog Bhavan in the vicinity of Gandhi Maidan, passing through crowded localities like Fraser Road, Exhibition Road, Kadam Kuan and Sahitya Sammelan.
After the roadshow, the Prime Minister is scheduled to retire for the night at the Raj Bhavan and on the next morning PM will continue his poll campaign in Hajipur, Muzaffarpur and Saran.
