Tejashwi must stop taking their contract
By Alok Nandan
Patna: Retorting sharply at the statement of the Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, who said that anyone looking at Muslims with bad intentions will have to face serious consequences, BJP state spokesperson Usha Vidhyarthi said that no one has harmed the interests of Muslims in Bihar more than RJD, Lalu, and his family.
Accusing RJD and Lalus family for the poverty and illiteracy among Muslims in Bihar, Usha Vidyarthi said that Lalu Yadav and his wife Rabri Devi ruled Bihar for a long time by scaring Muslims in the name of BJP but never cared for their interests. Now, Tejashwi Yadav seems to be following his parents footsteps. Even though his party is not in power, he has started trying to scare Muslims again for electoral gains.
Usha Vidhyarthi said that Tejashwi Yadav is using old tricks. Just like his father Lalu Yadav used to scare Muslims by invoking BJPs name, Tejashwi is now trying the same. But this formula wont work anymore because Bihars Muslims are now well aware of their reality. She further added that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Muslims trust has grown. They can see that their economic, social, and educational progress is accelerating under the double-engine government, and they are being provided with all kinds of facilities. Most importantly, they feel completely safe.
Usha Vidhyarthi mentioned that with execution of Triple Talaq law in the country,
the progressive Muslims specially the women folk of the community have realised the BJPs commitment for providing social security to Muslims. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, heading the NDA government in Bihar is popular among Muslims as he is looking after their interests without any discrimination. Under his leadership, people of all religions are living peacefully in Bihar. Muslims in Bihar neither need to be afraid of anyone nor be misled by anyone, she added.
She further stated that Tejashwi Yadav should stop inciting Muslims and claiming to be their representative. The Muslims of Bihar are no longer going to fall for his provocations, as they have already experienced the benefits of development. Electricity has reached their homes without any discrimination, their children are getting educated and progressing, and Muslim girls are rapidly gaining access to education. They are no longer willing to listen to talks of riots. The law is equal for all, so Tejashwi Yadav should refrain from making baseless statements regarding Muslims, she quipped.
It is worth mentioning that Tejashwi Yadav, in a video, accused BJP of intimidating Muslims in the border areas of the state, and criticized Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for giving BJP a free hand in threatening Muslims. He also warned that if anyone looked at Muslims with ill intentions, they would face dire consequences."
