With just seven to eight months remaining for the Lok Sabha polls, the ruling BJP wants to weaken the opposition parties by focusing on the corruption of their leaders.
The CBI has filed a plea in the Supreme Court for the cancellation of the bail of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav in the fodder scam and the hearing of this case is scheduled at the end of this month. The main idea seems to be to put Lalu Prasad behind bars to cut his direct contact with the common people as he is probably the number one crowd puller in Bihar.
In a bid to counter the strategy of the BJP, the leaders of the opposition grouping INDIA are also opting for a similar approach by raising the issues of the Hindenburg report pertaining to the Adani issue and the scam of the NCP.
Now it is a game of perception between the NDA and INDIA in Bihar. In the last few months, the poll strategists of the BJP have made blunders in the context of Bihar.
Recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed that the Darbhanga AIIMS was built by the Centre. His statement was wrong as no AIIMS has been constructed and Modi and the BJP leaders faced an awkward situation. Actually it was a failure of the Central government officials who did not give the right information to the PM. The leaders of INDIA like Tejashwi Yadav, JD-U state president Lalan Singh and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar criticized the PM for his statement.
Union home minister Amit Shah during a Purnea rally on September 22, 2022 claimed that 95% of the airport here was constructed with the help of the Union civil aviation ministry. This statement also turned out to be wrong as only the land was earmarked but no construction has happened there.
