'Mungeri Lal k sapne': Chirag Paswan hits out at Mahagathbandhan over 'ongoing infighting'; slams attack on Nitish's health

NEW DELHI: Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) (LJP(RV)) chief Chirag Paswan on Wednesday launched a sharp attack on the “collapsed” Mahagathbandhan alliance claiming that their hopes of coming to power are nothing but “Mungeri Lal ke sunehre sapne.””The way an infighting is going on in the Mahagathbandhan and the way the alliance has completely collapsed, even after that if they are thinking that they will come to power, I think it is nothing less than ‘Mungeri Lal ke sunehre sapne,” Paswan told reporters in Patna.The Union minister further questioned the visibility and coordination of alliance leaders, taking a dig at Rahul Gandhi, asking, “Where is Rahul Gandhi?””Today, after so many days, they addressed the media. Where were they for so long? Today, Ashok Gehlot has come to Bihar after everything is over in the Mahagathbandhan,” he stated. “Where is Rahul Gandhi, who was roaming around earlier and misleading people over the Special Intensive Revision (SIR)? Is it not a moral responsibility for Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav to sit together and resolve the seat-sharing issue with maturity?” he added.Paswan also took a swipe at Tejashwi Yadav for sharing a video of chief minister Nitish Kumar, questioning his health and ability to continue in office.”The CM, who has been attacked personally by Mahagathbandhan leaders, despite that, they need to learn that, they are commenting, and he is campaigning. They should now tell whose health is better. They are not able to step out from air-conditioners. They are questioning the health of the CM, rather the health of Mahagathbandhan has been affected completely,” Paswan said. Defending Nitish Kumar, Paswan added, “They should rather think how much he is worried for Bihar, and how hard he is working. We are united. NDA leaders are campaigning. They are not able to handle their coalition and are talking about handling Bihar.”The remarks came after Tejashwi Yadav posted on X, saying, “If the chief minister is healthy, then why is he acting like this while reading a written speech?” Earlier in the day, addressing a public rally, Paswan also accused the RJD-Congress alliance of dividing people for votes. “What is their MY equation? M is dividing Biharis along communal lines. Y is dividing Biharis along ethnic lines. Similarly, we also talk about the MY equation, but our M includes women representing not only the nation but also the world. Similarly, Y represents not only the youth of the nation but also the world,” he said.Reaffirming his political resolve, the LJP chief declared, “Countless attempts were made to defeat and break Chirag Paswan. But I am a son of Khagaria. I am a lion’s son. I am the son of Ram Vilas Paswan.”Paswan said the NDA is united and focused on development. “We want to move forward with this MY equation. I want to rise above caste, creed, and religion, and ensure that every Bihari youth gets employment. Every Bihari woman gets respect. The elderly get their rights. We work to ensure that farmers and labourers get their due. Our alliance is moving forward with this vision. Countless attempts were made to defeat, break, Chirag Paswan. But I am a son of Khagaria. I am a lion’s son. I am the son of Ram Vilas Paswan,” Paswan added. Go to Source
