Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha and senior Con- gress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to stop him if they can, as he addressed the students in Darbhanga despite administration stop- ping him to visit the Ambed- kar Hostel.
Rahul Gandhi, who arrived in Bihar on Wednesday morning, was first stopped at the Darbhanga airport for almost 20 minutes. After he was let go from airport, he was stopped thrice enroute to Ambedkar Hostel, where he was all set to hold the Siksha Nyay Samvaad with the students.
However, following multiple stopping by the administration, the Congress leader decided to walk towards the venue. Following his face off with the Police, he took to X and in Hindi wrote, “Nitish ji, Modiji, rok sako to rok lo. Jatigat janganana ki aandhi samajik nyay, shiksha aur rojgar ki kranti lakar rahegi (Nitishji and Modiji, stop me if you can. The storm of caste census will bring the revolution of social justice, education and employment).” He also questioned the Bihar Chief Minister, that what he is afraid of.
In a post on social media platform X, Rahul Gandhi questioned Bihar CM Nitish and said, “NDA’s “double engine dhokebaaz sarkaar” in Bihar is preventing me from interacting with Dalit and backward students in Ambedkar Hostel.
While addressing the students at the Ambedkar Hostel here, the Gandhi scion accused the Police of stopping him and said that despite all their attempts he managed to reach the students to listen to their voices as their power was behind him.
He also took swipe at the NDA government in Bihar dubbing it as the “double engine dhokebaaz sarkaar.” “The Bihar Police tried to stop me. But they could not stop me because your power (minority community) is watching over me. We told PM Narendra Modi that you have to conduct census. Under your pressure, PM Narendra Modi announced caste census in the country. Scared of your pressure, he placed the Constitution on his forehead,” he said.
