Priyanka Gandhi, General Secretary of the Indian National Congress, launched a sharp critique against the BJP's 'double engine' government in Bihar, referring to it as a symbol of "double atrocities" on the youth of the state. Gandhi's comments came during an event where she accused the BJP of not fulfilling its promises to the youth and neglecting their welfare.
The term "double engine" refers to the BJP's rule both at the central level and in Bihar under Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Deputy CM Sushil Modi. Gandhi argued that, despite being in power at both levels, the youth of Bihar have suffered from a lack of job opportunities, inadequate education, and rising unemployment. She claimed that the BJP's governance has failed to address these issues effectively.
Gandhi further accused the BJP of promising changes but failing to implement them, leading to frustration among the youth. She also highlighted the state's backward development and the lack of investment in essential sectors that could benefit the youth, such as education and employment.
During her address, Gandhi urged the people of Bihar to rally for a change in leadership and emphasized that the current government's policies were damaging the state's future potential. She asserted that the Congress party, with its focus on youth empowerment, would offer a much-needed alternative to the BJP's approach.
Her remarks come as the state prepares for upcoming elections, with political parties focusing heavily on youth issues, such as employment and education. Gandhi's strong words are seen as an attempt to rally support among the youth, who make up a significant portion of Bihar’s electorate.
This latest statement by Priyanka Gandhi adds to the ongoing political debate in Bihar, where the opposition parties have been criticizing the BJP-led government for not addressing the needs and concerns of the state's youth. As the political battle heats up, it remains to be seen how the BJP and its allies will respond to these accusations in the coming weeks.
