Overview
- At rallies in West and East Champaran on November 5–6, Priyanka Gandhi said Nitish Kumar is being sidelined and that Bihar is being run from Delhi by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
- She alleged large-scale electoral manipulation, claiming 65 lakh names were deleted from voter rolls through SIR and accusing the NDA of seeking power through “vote chori,” a claim not independently verified in the reports.
- Criticizing the prime minister’s priorities, she said he fixates on the size of opposition leaders’ photos on posters instead of addressing poverty and basic services.
- She pledged, if the INDIA bloc forms the government, free treatment for poor families up to Rs 25 lakh, an attempt to provide one government job per family, and the filling of vacant posts.
- Invoking a Rajiv Gandhi anecdote to argue for leader accessibility, she also cited claims of 27 bridge collapses in three years and referenced Rahul Gandhi’s separate allegations of vote theft in Haryana.
