Beware of RSS, Owaisi both, says Digvijaya at Congress rally

PATNA: The Congress ‘Bihar Kranti Mahasabha’ virtual rallies in the state covered Siwan and Goplaganj districts on Monday with senior party leader Digvijaya Singh urging people to unite against the RSS and also beware of the Asaduddin Owaisi-led AIMIM. He was backed by the party’s minority wing national head, Nadeem Jawed, who, too, cautioned Muslims against Owaisi.
Digvijay said BJP along with Owaisi would soon start distracting people in the name of religion ahead of the polls. He also trained guns at chief minister Nitish Kumar for betraying his old friend and RJD chief Lalu Prasad.
Former parliamentarian Shakeel Ahmad cautioned people not to get swayed by politicians who play politics with the religious sentiments of the people. He said BJP, which portrays itself as a pro-Hindu party, was in reality affecting them the most. “Majority of the youth who are unemployed or have lost jobs are Hindus,” said Shakeel. He asked people to ask PM Narendra Modi how much money was spent from the package he had announced before the 2015 assembly polls.
Congress’s Uttrakhand former president Kishor Upadhyay criticized the policies of Nitish government and claimed they were not meant for the welfare of people. Wooing the voters ahead of the assembly polls, Congress national spokesperson Amrita Dhawan said, “Bihar election will have an impact on the political scenario of the entire country. We all have to unite against the NDA government.”
Party’s state president Madan Mohan Jha talked about the problems being faced by sugarcane farmers and sugar mills of that area. “I think CM Nitish Kumar forgets the promises he makes,” said Jha.
Ex-JD (U) MLA joins Congress: Former JD (U) MLA from Barbigha, Gajanand Shahi, on Monday joined Congress in a Milan Samaroh organized at Sadaqat Ashram on Monday. Congress state president Madan Mohan Jha welcomed Shahi into the party, who earlier had also been Congress’s member before shifting to JD (U). “Your presence will give Congress an upper hand in Sheikhpura district,” Jha said.
