Modi Knows Only ‘Jumlas’, Nitish Failed To Stop Migration

CHENARI (ROHTAS): 07 NOVEMBER, 2025

Congress president and Leader of the Opposition in the Rajya Sabha, Mallikarjun Kharge, on Thursday launched a blistering attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing the former of peddling “empty promises” and the latter of presiding over “20 years of failed governance” that has forced the state’s youth to migrate for work.

Addressing a public meeting here in support of Mahagathbandhan candidate Mangal Ram, Kharge began his speech with a personal anecdote, alleging political interference. “I was supposed to be here at 12:40 PM, but I was held at the airport. I was told I could not take off until Modi ji’s flight had departed. Those who always obstruct me are from the BJP,” he claimed, apologising to the crowd for the two-hour delay.

In a speech that blended sharp political rhetoric with a list of poll promises, Kharge methodically targeted the Prime Minister’s record. “Narendra Modi’s only job is to travel. He has no target for the country's welfare. When he comes to India, the election campaign starts. He has never sat for an hour or two to think about the country,” he said.

He then proceeded to list what he called PM Modi’s “list of jumlas (rhetoric)”, asking the crowd to respond after each one:

• “He said he would bring back black money and deposit ₹15 lakh in every account – Did he do it?” (Crowd replied: No)

• “He said he would give two crore jobs every year to the youth – Did he do it?” (Crowd replied: No)

• “He said he would double the MSP for farmers – Did he do it?” (Crowd replied: No)

Training his guns on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Kharge questioned the development narrative. “Nitish Babu took the oath as Chief Minister nine times. It’s been 20 years, but where is the development? The poor are still fleeing Bihar for Mumbai, Ahmedabad, Chennai, and Bengaluru. If you have even a little shame, you should stop this migration first,” he asserted.

Positioning the election as a battle for social justice, Kharge accused the BJP-RSS of wanting to “bring back the Manusmriti, which Babasaheb Ambedkar burnt. 

“We will not let this happen. We will fight for the rights of Dalits, OBCs, the poor, farmers, and women. We are fighting to save the Constitution and democracy, not for chairs of power,” he stated.

In a hard-hitting address, Shri Kharge did not hold back, listing a series of "broken promises" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

🔴 Key Highlights from Kharge's Speech:

• "Modi Stopped Me at the Airport": Kharge began by apologizing for his delay, alleging he was held up at the airport until PM Modi's flight took off, stating, "Those who always obstruct me are from the BJP."

• "PM Modi Only Knows How to Campaign": He accused the PM of having no vision for the country, focusing only on foreign trips and election rallies instead of governance. "He has never sat for an hour or two to think about the country."

• "A List of Jumlas": Kharge reminded the public of PM Modi's unfulfilled promises:

  • ❌ 15 Lakhs in every account" - NOT DONE

  • ❌ 2 Crore jobs every year" - NOT DONE

  • ❌ Doubling of MSP for farmers" - NOT DONE

  • ❌ 1 Crore houses for the poor" - NOT DONE

  • ✅ Doubled the price of gas cylinders" instead of providing relief.

• "Nitish Kumar's 20-Year Failure": Targeting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, he questioned, "You have been CM for 20 years... where is the development?" He highlighted the issue of migration, asking why the youth are forced to leave Bihar for cities like Mumbai and Chennai if the state government had delivered.

• "An Attack on Social Justice": Shri Kharge charged the BJP-RSS with trying to impose "Manusmriti" and destroy the Constitution of Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar. "We will not let this happen. We will fight for the rights of Dalits, OBCs, the poor, farmers, and women."

‘GUARANTEES’ FOR BIHAR

Outlining the Mahagathbandhan’s agenda, Kharge promised:

• A job for every family.

• Government job status for ‘Jeevika Didis’ and an end to the contract system.

• ₹2,500 per month for women.

• 200 units of free electricity.

• ₹25 Lakh health insurance scheme.

• Implementation of the Old Pension Scheme (OPS).

“We do not make false promises. We only say what we can do. What Modi promised – 15 lakhs, 2 crore jobs, smart cities – were all lies. We have done it in Karnataka, Telangana, and Rajasthan, and we will do it here in Bihar,” he said.

Ending with an appeal to vote for candidate Mangal Ram, Kharge recited a couplet aimed at the BJP and JD(U): “Subah se shaam tak intezar kaun kare, Tumhare vaade par ab aitbaar kaun kare (Who will wait from morning till evening, Who will now believe your promises). This time, do not make a mistake,” he urged the voters.
