MALLAPURAM: Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Wednesday expressed optimism about winning the Bihar assembly polls, scheduled to be held in two phases, on November 6 and 11.
The Congress MP said she will better understand the ground realities once she hits the campaign trail in Bihar.
“Once I go there, I will have a better idea, but I think it will be good, and we are hoping to win the elections,” the Wayanad MP briefly told reporters here in response to Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launching the campaigning today for the assembly poll.
Bharatiya Janata Party Spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari on Wednesday hit back at Congress MP Rahul Gandhi’s ‘PM Modi will dance for votes’ remarks, calling him a “local goon.”
Bhandari alleged that Rahul Gandhi has “mocked voters” and “insulted” the poor with his remarks.
In an X post, the BJP leader wrote, “Rahul Gandhi speaks like a ‘Local Goon’. Rahul Gandhi has openly insulted every poor of India, & Bihar who has voted for PM Narendra Modi ji! Rahul Gandhi has mocked voters and Indian democracy.”
This comes after Rahul Gandhi took a strong jibe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and said, “If you ask him to do a drama for votes, he will. You can make him do anything.If you tell Narendra Modi to dance. He will dance…”
Gandhi was addressing a joint rally with the Mahagathbandhan’s Chief Ministerial face, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, to open his campaign for the Bihar Assembly elections.
He also accused PM Modi of destroying “all the small businesses by implementing demonetisation and Goods and Services Tax.”
“Tell me what is written on the back of your phone. Made in China. Narendra Modi ji has destroyed all the small businesses by implementing demonetisation and GST. Wherever you look, it is Made in China. We say that it should not be Made in China, it should be Made in Bihar. Mobiles, shirts, pants, all these should be made in Bihar, and the youth of Bihar should get employment in those factories. We want such a Bihar,” he said.
The assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
