NDA leaders criticize Rahul Gandhi and Congress Party

Leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar have launched criticisms against Rahul Gandhi and the Congress Party regarding several issues, including the ‘Vande Mataram’ controversy and the party's record on youth and women.

Bihar Minister Ram Kripal Yadav criticized the decision to sing only parts of the ‘Vande Mataram’ song, calling it ‘unbecoming’ and stating that the full song represents the soul of the nation. He further accused Rahul Gandhi of attempting to reinvent himself despite public rejection and claimed the Congress Party failed to address social inequalities during its long tenure in power.

Additionally, Bihar Minister Shravan Kumar challenged the Congress Party to demonstrate its commitment to women's empowerment. He highlighted the Bihar government's achievements, such as providing 50 percent reservation for women in local bodies and 35 percent reservation in government jobs, contrasting these with the perceived inaction of Congress-led governments.
