Biharis are most intelligent, will call the bluff of PM Modi: Congress

Congress took a dig at the Prime Minister on Tuesday saying Biharis are one of the “most intelligent” people in the country and will “call the bluff” of Narendra Modi in the upcoming Assembly elections.

“I am 100 per cent in agreement with the Prime Minister. Biharis are one of the most intelligent people in the country. So, they will call the bluff of packaging and repackaging by Narendra Modi,” AICC General Secretary Shakeel Ahmed told PTI. He said that the Prime Minister may be campaigning in different parts of the poll-bound state, but his objective would not be fulfilled as people have already decided to “dump” the BJP.

Ahmed also reminded the BJP that it was also part of the government for a “very long period” in the last 25 years in which it was alleging that Bihar had witnessed “misrule”. BJP was part of the Nitish Kumar government for eight long years. He claimed one of the reasons for people of Bihar to not vote for Modi would be a “slide in his personal graph”.

Bihar PCC Chief Ashok Chaudhary also took a dim view of the Prime Minister’s rally in Bhagalpur today claiming that it showed the “frustration and the nervousness” in BJP camp due to the formidable challenge posed by the grand “secular” alliance (of RJD, JD-U, Congress, SP and NCP).
