BJP Spokesperson Criticizes Opposition, Defends Election Results in Patna

Patna, October 29 (Daily Kiran) : BJP’s national spokesperson, Guru Prakash, took aim at opposition parties during a press conference in Patna, addressing various political issues. He asserted that the public mandate firmly supports the BJP and the NDA, following the recent MLC election results. Prakash emphasized that electoral victories and defeats are part of democracy, and the people’s decision is paramount.

At a ‘mock parliament‘ event held at the residence of Mallikarjun Kharge, Prakash criticized opposition leaders for trivializing serious political discourse. He pointed out that the Supreme Court has clarified the situation regarding various issues raised by the opposition. He referred to claims about 130 million names missing from the voter list, stating that these figures have been previously categorized. He noted that approximately 28 million voters were found deceased, while over 50 million had changed addresses, leaving many others untraceable.

Prakash stated that individuals who are not citizens of India cannot be included in the voter list. He accused the Congress party of operating with an unconstitutional mindset. Citing Baba Saheb Ambedkar’s concept of “Grammar of Anarchy,” he argued that the opposition’s politics are rooted in chaos. He insisted that the country will adhere to Ambedkar’s Constitution, rather than outdated and regressive ideologies.

Regarding the removal of names from the voter list in connection with Karnataka Minister Jarkiholi’s SIR, Prakash maintained that the process was entirely constitutional and without issue. He claimed that leaders within Congress who are grounded and believe in constitutional ideals understand this process. He labeled Rahul Gandhi as a “hot air leader,” suggesting that internal power struggles within Congress have led Gandhi to raise various issues to maintain relevance following Rehan Vadra’s emergence in political discussions. He asserted that the results of elections for graduates, teachers, and local bodies across the country clarify Congress’s standing.

Commenting on the opposition’s unity for a rally on November 1, Prakash alleged that the group initially claimed to be non-political, but their intentions have since become clear. He accused them of being linked to the Aam Aadmi Party’s student organization and engaging in anarchic politics. He referenced Neha Bora and Sharjeel Imam, questioning the implications of Bora potentially leading while Imam views the Constitution as merely a document.

Prakash also addressed the results of the MLC elections, stating that victories and losses are inherent in politics. He acknowledged the BJP’s humility in accepting defeat in the Bankipur constituency, citing Atal Bihari Vajpayee’s philosophy that one should reflect on losses while winners should remain humble.

On the RJD’s victory in the Darbhanga Graduate constituency, he noted that the election was conducted by ballot, but questioned the overall performance of opposition parties in various elections across other states. He criticized the RJD, drawing parallels between ballot and bullet politics, and accused Lalu Yadav’s regime of denying voting rights to marginalized communities. He asked if the opposition seeks to revert to such political practices.

Prakash concluded by stating that the country has progressed, and public trust in electoral transparency is intact. He accepted the RJD’s victory but emphasized that losing parties must also be capable of accepting results. He cautioned against drawing broad political conclusions based on a single election outcome.
