Digha (Bihar) [India], November 17 (HBTV): Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday accused previous Bihar governments of allowing Bangladeshi infiltrators to spread anarchy in the state. Addressing a public meeting in Digha, he alleged that the forces that once divided society along caste lines and ‘pitted Hindu against Hindu’ had regrouped under the Mahagathbandhan.
‘The people who created an identity crisis for Bihar are the same who have come together today in the form of the Mahagathbandhan. Bangladeshi infiltrators were given free rein to spread anarchy throughout Bihar by raising caste armies and pitting Hindu against Hindu. This trend that began in Bihar between 1992 and 2005 created an identity crisis for the state,’ he said.
Earlier in the day, while addressing a public meeting in Muzaffarpur, the Chief Minister criticised the ‘unholy alliance’ between the RJD and Congress, alleging that the coalition had damaged Bihar’s identity during its tenure in power.
‘The question of which official would carry the then Chief Minister’s spittoon had become Bihar’s identity. The DGP was called “Munshi” and the Chief Secretary “Babu”. The unholy alliance between the RJD and Congress shattered Bihar’s identity,’ he said.
Referring to the earlier environment in the state, he added that proposals for development, such as building roads, were met with fear. ‘When someone advocating for Bihar’s development suggested building a road, people would say, “Don’t build a road, otherwise the police might get the means to arrive here to stop your misdeeds.” These hereditary looters gave birth to the hereditary mafia, and these people want to repeat the same thing now,’ he said.
During another public meeting at Keoti, the Chief Minister took a jibe at the Mahagathbandhan, saying the alliance had brought in ‘three monkeys’ to campaign for them. Targeting Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, he said the three leaders were blind, deaf and mute to the development that has taken place in Bihar.
‘Just as Gandhiji had three monkeys, today the INDIA alliance brought in three monkeys in the name of Pappu, Tappu and Appu (Rahul Gandhi, Tejashwi Yadav and Akhilesh Yadav). Pappu cannot speak the truth or say anything good. Tappu cannot see any truth, and Appu cannot hear the truth,’ he said.
Alleging that the Mahagathbandhan was colluding with the mafia, Adityanath said, ‘These people cannot see the development done by the NDA. These three people hug and mingle with the family mafias and disrupt the security of the state.’
The results were declared on November 14. (ANI)
