Union Minister Chirag Paswan emphasised the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led alliance in Bihar operated with the belief that there should be no distance between the people and their representatives.
"When our Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is going to the public with his welfare schemes, not only keeping the legislative assembly elections in mind but also, public representatives should also spend time with people...," Chirag Paswan told reporters in Bhagalpur. Chirag Paswan, the Minister of Food Processing Industries, also hit out at the opposition INDIA bloc leaders for distancing themselves from the public. "But these (INDIA bloc) people, while being in power, distance themselves from the public. They don't deem it necessary to open the doors of their vehicles (to interact with the public)," he said "..Our government and our alliance work with the idea that there should be no distance between people and their representatives...," Chirag Paswan added. Meanwhile, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary attacked Lalu Prasad Yadav, the former chief minister of Bihar over the alleged land-for-jobs scam. "Lalu Yadav ji never did anything apart from looting the Bihar. He gave jobs in exchange for land. It does not make any difference to him," Choudhary told ANI here. "They do not want the development in Bihar," he added. Choudhary further stated that Aam Admi Party (AAP) leaders are playing new tricks to gain public sympathy ahead of the Delhi assembly elections. Commenting on the alleged attack on the AAP national convenor, Arvind Kejriwal a day earlier, Choudhary said, "Apprehending fear (in the Delhi assembly elections), they are playing new tricks to gain public sympathy." On Saturday, a person was apprehended by AAP National Convenor Kejriwal's security staff when he attempted to throw a liquid at Arvind Kejriwal during his padayatra in Delhi's Greater Kailash. (ANI)
