BJP running government through remote control using Nitish's face: Rahul Gandhi
Oct-29-2025

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, alleging the BJP is running the Bihar government ‘through remote control’, merely using Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as a facade.

Addressing a public rally in Muzaffarpur ahead of assembly elections, Gandhi claimed, ‘I agree with Tejashwi Yadav, who spoke just before me, that the government in Bihar is being run through remote control. They are simply using the face of Nitish Kumar’.

The former Congress president accused the BJP of being anti-social justice and favouring a handful of billionaires while neglecting the common citizen. Gandhi alleged, ‘Two Indias are emerging. One belongs to the common people, and the other to five or 10 billionaires. This is the reason that places like Bihar suffer in povertay, with its vast potential remaining untapped.’ ‘You all must have seen the drama that PM Narendra Modi wanted to enact by declaring that he was going to take a dip in the Yamuna on the occasion of Chhath Puja. When it came to the fore that it was a water body created through piped water, Modi flinched,’ he claimed 

Rahul Gandhi reiterated the Congress’s push for a caste census and warned that elections in Bihar could be manipulated, as he alleged had happened in Maharashtra and Haryana. He said that theft of votes is an assault on the Constitution of Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Gandhi also asserted that if the INDIA bloc forms the new government, it will ensure that the interests of all sections of society, cutting across caste and religious lines, are taken care of.
