Rahul Gandhi’s “hydrogen bomb” was a dud bomb, according to Amit Malviya, the BJP’s in-charge of the IT department, who mocked Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over “vote theft” claims.
“Mahol Aandhi (Rahul Gandhi) came to expose vote theft — but got exposed themselves in front of the media!” he tweeted, sharing a parody video on X. These turned out to be dud bombs, dude, not a hydrogen bomb. Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, whose names had been changed, were seen in the spoof film speaking at a news conference where they were questioned about alleged “jungle raj” against RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, a rumoured breach between the Congress and RJD in Bihar, and vote stealing.
Rahul Gandhi had called the evidence of the election commission of India’s (ECI) “vote theft” accusations a “hydrogen bomb.” Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ protested the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar and accused the Karnataka state of trying to remove more than 6,000 votes from Aland.
This jab coincides with the Bihar Assembly elections, when confusion and internal strife have been hinted at by the opposition Mahagathbandhan’s reluctance to declare the seat-sharing agreement. Nominations for the second round of the Bihar Assembly Election must be submitted by Monday, October 20.
Additionally, it is the final day to withdraw nominations for the 121 constituencies that will be covered by the first round of the Bihar Assembly elections. The Mahagathbandhan was criticised by Nitin Nabin, the BJP’s candidate for the Bankipur assembly seat, earlier today, who stated, “It would be better not to call it an alliance at all now.” Would it be considered an alliance if two parties were competing for more than 36 seats?
“Tejashwi Yadav has a lot of ambition. No coalition can succeed around Congress, and Congress never accepts an alliance. When there is a history of dishonesty, how can such groups establish an alliance?” he said. Bihar will hold two rounds of voting on November 6 and 11 for all 243 assembly seats. The results will be announced on November 14.
