In a fiery address in Patna on February 10, Bihar Government Minister Dilip Jaiswal took aim at several opposition heavyweights, starting with Rahul Gandhi’s controversial parliamentary demeanor. Describing it as ‘utterly unconstitutional,’ Jaiswal warned that such ego-driven antics tarnish the opposition’s stature and betray democratic ethos.
‘Politics isn’t run on hubris; Rahul must reform his conduct,’ the minister stated emphatically to IANS. This comes amid heightened political tensions, underscoring the need for responsible leadership from all quarters.
Echoing UP CM Yogi Adityanath’s cautionary words on fragmentation, Jaiswal exposed a long-standing conspiracy to splinter Sanatan society by caste. ‘The masses are now discerning this ploy,’ he noted, pointing to a shift in public sentiment against divisive forces.
AIMIM’s Asaduddin Owaisi drew flak for his inflammatory rhetoric, which Jaiswal sees as engineered unrest. Yet, he remained optimistic: ‘India’s bedrock—its people and Constitution—will prevail over such mischief.’
Mamata Banerjee faced the harshest words for her handling of the SR issue, with Jaiswal alleging TMC’s goons are rampant amid crumbling law enforcement in Bengal. ‘The populace is mobilizing against her; her Delhi drama won’t mask Bihar’s fair elections, as affirmed by the apex court,’ he predicted.
On the cricket front, Pakistan’s U-turn on boycotting India in T20 World Cup was dismissed as sham posturing. Jaiswal stressed keeping geopolitics out of games, hailing the eventual sane decision.
