A day ahead of Amit Shah’s virtual rally to sound BJP's poll bugle in Bihar, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday said electioneering amidst the coronavirus crisis in the country is nothing but “political vulturism”, and alleged that the saffron party was only interested in electoral victory even at the cost of human lives.
The Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly also accused the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government of meting out "step-motherly" treatment to migrant labourers and asserted that this would be a major issue in the Assembly polls slated for later this year.
In an interview to PTI, Yadav said he is hopeful that all like-minded parties who are driven by the same ideology of pro-constitutional supremacy and pro-poor would come under one umbrella and fight the “divisive and a failed government of 15 years” in the State.
He also dismissed reports of cracks in the opposition alliance, saying that having "contrarian views" is healthy for any democracy.
His remarks come a day before the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is set to observe ''Garib Adhikar Diwas'' that was announced to counter
Shah’s rally on June 7 in which the Home Minister will address the people of the State through video conferencing and Facebook live, given the COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions.
The BJP will sound the poll bugle in Bihar with the virtual rally by the Union Minister and party's senior leader Shah.
