Patna: With eyes on upcoming Bihar polls, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has said that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) could only be defeated if all members of the opposition grand alliance worked together in the elections. He emphasized, “If we contest the elections separately, the NDA will have the advantage”.
Gandhi made the observation while addressing the office-bearers at the historical Sadaquat Ashram during his day-long visit to Bihar. He said the Assembly elections were significant not only for the state but also for the whole nation. “Bihar will open the doors of change for the nation,” he said, exhorting the leaders to work unitedly with their alliance partners.
Gandhi also participated in the 'Palayan Roko, Naukri Do' (Stop Migration, Provide Jobs) padyatra in the state's Begusarai district where he said that the youth of Bihar "will not tolerate injustice anymore" and fight for their rights, employment and justice.
The MP from Rae Bareli was accompanied by several party leaders, including Kanhaiya Kumar and state party president Rajesh Kumar. Sharing pictures from the yatra on his X handle, Gandhi said, "There is enthusiasm among the youth of Bihar to achieve something - and there is anger against the government for not providing them opportunities and support. The sentiments, suffering and determination of thousands of youth were clearly visible on the streets of Begusarai today during the 'Palayan Roko, Naukri Do' rally."
