Rampur
Senior BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Sunday mocked the opposition alliance in Bihar, claiming it would collapse under the weight of its own contradictions. He said successful alliances depend on political understanding, not feudal ambitions.
Speaking to reporters in Rampur, Naqvi said, “The frustrated group that criticises Prime Minister Narendra Modi every day should learn alliance politics from him. Despite the BJP winning a full majority in 2014 and 2019, Modi ji kept allies together and ensured good governance.”
Naqvi claimed that if Congress had a full majority, it would have discarded its partners because alliance principles are neither its custom nor its character. Using popular Hindi idioms, he described the opposition alliance as “Mungerilal ke haseen sapne” (daydreams) and “ek anaar sau bimaar” (too many claimants for one prize).
Calling the Congress a “non-performing asset,” Naqvi said the party has lost national relevance and is now “suffering from Modi phobia,” obsessed with one family’s photo frame. He alleged that pseudo-secular leaders have long tried to isolate the BJP from Indian Muslims, leading to the community’s political marginalisation.
Naqvi added that BJP governments, both at the Centre and in states, have provided development without discrimination, even when Muslims withheld electoral support. He predicted another defeat for the Congress in Bihar and said its “frustrated feudal fraternity” with the Samajwadi Party would also fail in Uttar Pradesh.
Bihar’s 243-member Assembly will vote in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results to be announced on November 14.
