New Delhi, June 30 (IANS) The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), on Monday, launched a scathing attack against the Rashtriya Janata Dal-Congress-led Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, accusing it of planning to run the election-bound state not by the Constitution, but by Shariat.
Amit Malviya, BJP鈥檚 National Information and Technology Department incharge, said that former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and his son Tejashwi Yadav have floated a new slogan ahead of Assembly elections: 鈥淰ote for me and loot anything that you want.鈥
In a message shared on social media platform X, Malviya said, 鈥淭he real agenda of Tejashwi Yadav鈥檚 Gandhi Maidan rally has now come to light. From the stage, there is no longer talk of Babasaheb Ambedkar鈥檚 Constitution, but of Sharia and Shariat laws.鈥
鈥淒o Tejashwi and Rahul Gandhi want to run Bihar not by the Constitution, but by Shariat? The public will give an answer to this dangerous politics of dividing the nation in 2025. Bihar will be governed by the Constitution, not by Shariat,鈥 he added.
The BJP leader also tagged a cartoon strip purportedly depicting Tejashwi Yadav as saying that if an RJD-Congress alliance government is formed then they would transfer the ownership of Parliament House, Delhi airport and Patna鈥檚 Govindpura village to the Waqf Board.
Malviya鈥檚 X post also carried a video clip of a speaker at Tejashwi Yadav鈥檚 rally, who is heard congratulating the audience for filling up the Gandhi Maidan on the call given by organisations committed to Sharia.
Addressing the 鈥楽ave Waqf 鈥 Save Constitution鈥 conference at the Gandhi Maidan in Patna, Tejashwi Yadav, on Sunday, accused the BJP of conspiring to snatch the voting rights of the poor, backward, Dalit, extremely backward, tribal, and minority communities in Bihar.
Malviya鈥檚 fresh attack on the INDIA bloc, on Monday, coincided with BJP National Spokesperson Sudhanshu Trivedi slamming the Opposition for introducing Sharia laws from the backdoor when the Congress government was in power.
Bihar鈥檚 7.89 crore registered voters are set to elect a new 243-member Assembly in November to December this year.
