Patna: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday dared Prime Minister Narendra Modi over Donald Trump's latest claim on the India-Pakistan conflict, as he resumed his election campaign in Bihar with two back-to-back rallies. Challenging PM Modi over Donald Trump's assertion that Operation Sindoor was stopped under US pressure, Rahul Gandhi dared the Prime Minister to say Trump was lying the next time he visits Bihar. "PM Modi is scared of Trump. Next time he comes to Bihar, he must say the US President is lying about stopping the India-Pak conflict," Rahul Gandhi said. Earlier today, Donald Trump while mentioning that he was going to do a trade deal with India once again claimed of resolving the conflict between India and Pakistan. Trump’s comment came at a time when the relations between New Delhi and Washington have been reeling under severe strain after Trump imposed 50 per cent tariffs on India, including an additional 25 per cent levies for its procurement of Russian crude oil. India has already described the US action as "unfair, unjustified and unreasonable". PM Modi Will Even Dance For Votes, Says Rahul Gandhi In another attack, Rahul Gandhi alleged that PM Modi would do anything for votes. "If people in Bihar ask him to dance, he will dance," he said. He also alleged that the BJP was running the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar "through remote control." Rahul Corners BJP Govt Over Chhath Puja Stunt in Yamuna Addressing joint rallies alongside the INDIA bloc's CM face Tejashwi Yadav, Rahul said, "You must have seen the drama on TV that Modi was going to take a dip in the Yamuna for Chhath Puja. It was shelved when it was exposed that a puddle had been formed with clean, piped water since the river is so dirty." "Narendra Modi is ready to enact all types of drama. You try telling him at a poll rally, 'Mr Prime Minister, we will vote for you if you dance.' He will readily perform Bharat Natyam," he claimed. Gandhi asserted that under the leadership of Yadav, an RJD leader, a new government would be formed in Bihar, one that would ensure the interests of all sections of society—cutting across caste and religious lines—are taken care of. "I will ask the people of the state, especially the extremely backward classes, to give up the illusion that the government is run by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. It is a government run through remote control by the BJP, which does not care for Bihar," he said. "The clothes that you wear mostly carry the label 'Made in China.' I want to see the day when these are replaced by 'Made in Bihar.' But this cannot happen under a dispensation that works for big business houses. It requires a boost to small and medium-scale industries, which the BJP destroyed through measures like demonetisation and flawed GST," he alleged. Gandhi claimed that it was at the Congress's insistence that the Modi government agreed to a caste census. "Two Indias are emerging. One belongs to the common people, and the other to five or ten billionaires. This is the reason places like Bihar suffer in poverty, with their vast potential remaining untapped," he alleged. Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha, also pilloried the PM for stating that cheap internet had made social media accessible to even the poor. "Why does Modi not also reveal that he has allowed the monopoly of one business house in the telecom sector? Moreover, he wants people to get addicted to reels and Instagram because he cannot give them jobs," he claimed.
