‘Double-engine govt would be voted out soon’: Kharge, Rahul take aim at BJP in Bihar rally
Kharge alleged PM Modi is attempting to win the Bihar assembly polls through “vote chori”. The Congress chief was speaking at the Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar.
Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Monday launched a scathing attack at the BJP-led government over the "vote chori" (vote theft) claim and asserted that the "double-engine" government would be voted out soon in Bihar.
Kharge alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is attempting to win the Bihar assembly polls through “vote chori”. The Congress chief was speaking at the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar.
“Modi is attempting to win Bihar polls through vote chori. Be alert. If you are not alert, Modi and (Amit) Shah will suppress you,” Kharge said at a rally in Patna, Bihar. “Modi has a habit of 'chori'-- vote chori, paisa chori, protecting those who loot banks,” the Congress president said.
He further alleged that the NDA's double engine government would not be in power in Bihar in a few months. “…The new government that will be formed will be of the poor, women, Dalits and backwards,” PTI quoted Kharge as saying.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday warned the BJP of an impending expose, saying that he will soon unleash a "hydrogen bomb" about his allegations of vote theft.
