"Best Universities and hospitals should be set up in Bihar," says Rahul Gandhi

Purnea (Bihar) [India], November 6 (ANI): A day after levelling fresh allegations of "voter fraud" in the 2024 Haryana assembly elections, Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi on Thursday targeted Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister amid the first phase of polling in 121 constituencies underway in Bihar.
"Wherever they are contesting elections, they are winning elections by stealing votes...Yesterday, we showed the whole world that the BJP and the Election Commission have stolen the Haryana elections, and they stole the last election in Bihar as well," Gandi said at a public meeting here while referring to his press conference on Wednesday.
"So this time, vote theft must not be allowed. (Prime Minister) Narendra Modi and (Union Home Minister) Amit Shah, the Election Commission, are involved in vote theft. It is your (voters) responsibility to protect the Constitution. We must not let vote theft happen..."," the Congress MP asked the voters.
The Congress MP reiterated his claim that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is being "remotely controlled" by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and called for the need to establish the best universities and hospitals in Bihar

"Bihar needs to progress again. The world's best universities and hospitals should be established in Bihar. Bihar should become a global hub for tourism and industry. But Prime Minister Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar cannot do this. Nitish Kumar cannot do anything because he is being remotely controlled by Prime Minister Modi... Nitish Kumar is not running the government; it is being run by bureaucrats from Bihar and Delhi, Prime Minister Modi, and Union Home Minister Amit Shah," the Congress MP added.
