PM's address devoid of burning issues: GA

Patna, May 30 (UNI) Accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not focusing the burning issues like corruption, unemployment, law and order, reservation, martyrs status to the soldiers and special package or special status to Bihar during his two day state visit, the Grand Alliance (GA) alleged that the PM's addressed was on the tune of his script writers.
In a joint press conference of the GA, the RJD chief spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Manoj Jha said here on Friday that the road show of the prime minister in the state capital was devoid of any show due to poor turnout.
He alleged that instead of replying to the important issues raised by the RJD, the speech of the Prime Minister contained nothing new and was far from reality.
The RJD leader alleged that the investments were being made in Gujarat, whereas Bihar was being used only as a political battleground.
Speaking about reservation, Jha said that the Prime Minister did not utter even a single word for incorporating the 65 percent reservation facility provision of which was made by the previous GA government of Bihar, in the 9th schedule of the constitution.
The Prime Minister also did not speak even a single word on the issue of either giving special status or a special package to Bihar, he quipped.
Jha further alleged that the Prime Minister, who has raised fingers several times on corruption, did not disclose why the ED had raided and the charge sheet was filed against an officer under the double-engine government of the NDA in Bihar.
The RJD leader said that the valour of Indian soldiers was being widely discussed, but the Prime Minister neither met the family members of any of the martyrs nor spoke even a single word to them. He said that the leader of the opposition in Bihar assembly, Tejaswi Prasad Yadav, had demanded to give kartut status to the soldiers sacrificing their lives during operations Sindhur but this too could not get a place in the speech of the PM during his Bihar visit.
On this occasion CPIML leader K.D Yadav alleged that the Prime Minister was not paying attention to the demands for central university status to the most prestigious Patna University of Bihar.
The NDA government was also not working in the interest of the farmers and rural women, he alleged.
CPIM Central committee member Awdhesh Kumar, outlining the plights of the farmers asked the Prime Minister to tell the time frame by which the Swaminathan Commission report would be implemented in the interest of the farmers.
Vikassheel Insan Party ( VIP) National vice president V K Singh said that the Prime Minister should explain why he did not go to Kashmir from Delhi and send the message that he would take revenge for Pahalgam.
CPI leader Nivedita Jha said that the entire nation was aggrieved by the Pahalgam incident, but the Prime Minister was taking political mileage out of it.
She said that the issue of distributing vermilion was being raised by the BJP, while everybody knows that it is sacred for Indian women who put it in the name of their spouse to honour them.
