Patna, April 15: Union Minister Giriraj Singh has responded sharply to statements made by Rahul Gandhi regarding West Bengal and Tejashwi Yadav’s comments about the state’s governance.
Recently, Rahul Gandhi remarked that if everything were in order in West Bengal, with no rising unemployment or violence, the BJP would not have gained a foothold. In response, Singh stated, “Everyone knows this. Rahul Gandhi has realized this late, as he was once seen in the race for Prime Minister alongside Mamata Banerjee. These are opportunistic individuals. The BJP has been fighting against misgovernance in Bihar since the 1990s, just as it opposes Mamata Banerjee’s rule, which is marked by lawlessness, protection of criminals, and the sheltering of Bangladeshi infiltrators and Rohingya Muslims. Bengal is grappling with unemployment, poverty, corruption, and chaos.”
Regarding the Congress’s opposition to the Women’s Reservation Bill, Singh expressed hope that they would not repeat their past behavior, especially when the bill was first introduced. “I hope Congress will not make the same mistakes as during the Mandal Commission era. Such errors should not be repeated, and we must collectively advance towards women’s empowerment,” he added.
Following Nitish Kumar’s resignation as Chief Minister, Tejashwi Yadav claimed that Gujarat would now govern Bihar. Singh responded to this by questioning Yadav’s credibility, stating, “Since yesterday, he has been speaking with a forced smile. I want to ask Tejashwi Yadav why his brother Tej Pratap Yadav and sister Rohini Acharya left home in tears, and why he could not manage his own family?” He emphasized that such statements cannot obscure the truth.
