Bihar’s political discourse heated up as Industries Minister Dilip Jaiswal lambasted Rahul Gandhi for torpedoing Congress’s prospects. Citing the shirtless antics by party workers at the AI Summit, Jaiswal charged, ‘Rahul’s anti-national leanings are flooding the Congress ship, inviting scorn from every corner of India.’ He disclosed that veteran Congress figures concur Gandhi is no leader material.
Jaiswal championed the state’s prohibition on open non-veg food sales at communal and religious venues. ‘It promotes discipline, hygiene, and positivity in public spaces,’ he argued, envisioning a transformed social fabric.
Buoyed by investment surges, Bihar’s economy looks robust. Shyam Steel’s Rs 5,000 crore commitment paves the way, joined by Shakti & Awadh Steel’s Rs 6,000 crore pledge. Jaiswal forecasted a ripple of jobs and prosperity, crediting proactive policies.
Deep sorrow marked Jaiswal’s reaction to the Chatra air ambulance crash. Seven onboard—a medical team and flight crew—lost lives in the forested crash site. ‘Utterly tragic and avoidable; my heart goes out to the families,’ he conveyed, informed through social channels.
