In Bihar,Rahul spares Lalu,Paswan,slams NDA

Instead of dwelling on Lalu and Paswan,the Congress general secretary chose to attack the NDA and highlight the achievements of the UPA Government at the Centre in poll speeches in Buxar and Aurangabad.

He said that while terrorism only worsened during the NDA regime,the UPA Government dealt sternly with extremist forces and made Pakistan behave and sit idle at home.

Rahul said the BJP with Kandahar as background had no moral right to make huge claims on terrorism. It was the UPA Government that succeeded in exerting pressure on Pakistan,very often responsible for cross-border terrorism, he said. He exhorted the people to vote for the Congress to reinstate aam aadmi ki sarkar common mans government at the Centre.

In Buxar,Congress candidate K K Tiwari is pitted against sitting BJP MP Lalmuni Choubey and RJDs man of integrity Jagdanand Singh. In Aurangabad,sitting Congress MP Nikhil Kumar finds himself in a triangular contest with the BJPs Sushil Kumar Singh and RJDs Shakil Ahmed Khan.

Blaming the Nitish Kumar-led NDA Government in the state for not checking migration,Rahul said: The Government has to look for reasons why people have not stopped migrating to various parts of the country for jobs.
