Speaking to ANI, Giriraj criticized the Congress for failing to eradicate poverty despite ruling the country for 60 years while highlighting the achievements of the Narendra Modi government in lifting 25 crore people above the poverty line.

"He (Rahul Gandhi) should seek atonement instead. Congress ruled for 60 years and raised the slogan of removing poverty, but they couldn't eradicate poverty. The Narendra Modi government has lifted 25 crore poor people above the poverty line. In Begusarai, his father had said that they would open petrochemicals facility in 1985, but nothing ever happened. His eyes will be dazzled when he sees PM Narendra Modi's roads and Nitish Kumar's development in Bihar," the Union Minister said.

Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi said on Sunday that he would visit Bihar on April 7 to hold a "Roko Palayan, Do Naukri" campaign.

"Young friends of Bihar, I will be coming to Begusarai on April 7th to join you in the 'Roko Palayan, Do Naukri' campaign, walking shoulder to shoulder with you. The goal is to show the world the spirit of Bihar's youth, their struggles, and their hardships," Gandhi said in a post on X.

The Lok Sabha LoP further urged the youth to wear white T-shirts to show solidarity with the campaign and put pressure on the Bihar government.

"Come wearing a white T-Shirt, ask questions, raise your voice--to put pressure on the government for your rights, to hold them accountable. Let's come together and make Bihar a State of opportunities," he said.

"The issues you face--unemployment, inflation, paper leaks, and the reduction in government jobs one after another, along with privatization that doesn't benefit you -- are the reasons we are on this campaign. This is called the "Palayan Yatra." Come and join us wearing a white t-shirt so that the world can see the emotions of Bihar's youth and put pressure on the Bihar government. We want to mobilize the energy of Bihar's youth and build a new Bihar," Rahul Gandhi said.

Finally some recognition for Bihar's development! The roads here have improved so much in recent years. People who haven't visited in a while won't recognize the state now. Kudos to both state and central governments 👏

While infrastructure has improved, I wish politicians would focus more on creating jobs rather than just making political statements. Bihar's youth deserve better opportunities than what's currently available.

The back-and-forth between these leaders is getting tiring. Can we just focus on actual governance instead of these constant political dramas? 🤦‍♂️

As someone from Begusarai, I can confirm the roads are much better now! But we still need more industries to create jobs. Hope both leaders can work together on that.

While I appreciate the development work, I wish politicians would stop using it as a political tool. Development should be about people, not about scoring points against opponents.

The white T-shirt campaign is actually a creative way to get youth involved in politics! Whether you agree with Rahul Gandhi or not, getting young people engaged is always positive ✨
