NEW DELHI: RJD leader and Bihar's leader of opposition, Tejashwi Yadav , on Tuesday accused Union home minister Amit Shah of misleading the public with falsehoods and claimed that the BJP is manipulating the election process in Bihar.
Speaking at a press conference in Patna, he alleged that Bihar's elections would be held only when BJP directs the Election Commission.
"You all know that elections are going to be held in Bihar. Whether it will happen or not is in the hands of BJP when the BJP signals the Election Commission, then elections will be held. But this time, the people of Bihar have made full preparations to give a reply to the 20-year-old government, and this time the people have made up their mind and this time, change is going to happen. All the BJP leaders from across the country will visit Bihar. BJP has a tradition that these people visit the state where elections are held, although this is their own decision," he said.
Tejashwi Yadav strongly criticised Amit Shah’s recent visit to Bihar, alleging that he lacks facts and instead spreads falsehoods to mislead voters.
"Amit Shah came on a tour of Bihar, but despite being the home minister, he does not have any facts and he has nothing to say except lies and 'jumlas'," Tejashwi said.
He accused Shah of focusing on personal attacks against Lalu Prasad Yadav rather than addressing governance issues.
"Amit Shah did come to Bihar but during his speech, he kept talking only about Lalu Prasad Yadav and he does not have any information and propagates lies. Amit Shah does not study facts before coming to Bihar. Based on the report of NCRB, the highest number of criminal incidents have taken place in Bihar," he added.
Raising the issue of reservations, RJD leader questioned why the BJP has not taken steps to increase the reservation limit despite repeatedly speaking about the issue.
"If the limit for increasing the scope of reservation has not been increased, then why does he not always mention it during his speeches?" he asked.
