BRS Working President K T Rama Rao (KTR) has slammed the Congress government in Telangana for not delivering its poll promises. He said that "they (Congress)promise the moon for your votes but never deliver", terming it as "Congress ka Vote Chori".
In an interview with ANI, BJP leader Uma Bharti, a former Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, stated that the Congress is unable to win polls and is being wiped out. Rahul Gandhi should think before he speaks or take homoeopathic medicine to improve his memory.
The SP chief arrived in Bihar on Friday to attend the Voter Adhikar Yatra, led by Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav.
The Congress leader emphasised the need to protect the constitutional right to vote, and vowed to safeguard the Constitution drafted by Dr B R Ambedkar.
A political row has erupted over the alleged abuses hurled at PM Modi and his late mother at the Opposition's 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' event in Bihar's Darbhanga on Thursday, with BJP and NDA leaders targeting the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for the incident.
Opposition leader R. Ashok demanded that CM Siddaramaiah, who had alleged vote rigging by the Congress in the previous election, provide an explanation to the public regarding this matter.
Congress leader KC Venugopal has condemned the "attack" on party's state unit in Patna, alleging that it was led by a sitting cabinet minister and other BJP leaders, and asserted that the party will continue to expose the "massive vote chori being carried out in the name of SIR".
The criticism came after a viral video purportedly showed derogatory remarks against PM Modi and his late mother at a rally in Darbhanga on Thursday during Rahul Gandhi's Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar.
"If the derogatory language is not accepted in our daily life, then how can it be accepted in public life? Those who are doing this are definitely causing harm to democracy," Bihar Governor Arif Mohammed Khan said.
Earlier, the BJP and Congress workers clashed in Patna on Friday over the alleged derogatory remarks during the Congress' Voter Adhikar Yatra in Bihar's Darbhanga on Thursday.
"This violence is a response to this yatra. Lakhs of people are joining the 'Voter Adhikar Yatra' started by Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav. This is a fight for votes, a fight for the rights of voters. They (BJP) are scared of this support, which is why they are resorting to violence," P
