Patna buzzed with political fireworks as Minister Dilip Jaiswal tore into Rahul Gandhi, holding him responsible for Congress’s downward spiral. The trigger? Congress activists’ bizarre shirtless protest at the AI Summit, which Jaiswal branded as Rahul’s latest folly. ‘His nationalist-phobic attitude is capsizing the grand old party, with universal backlash pouring in,’ he remarked. Insiders from Congress reportedly echo that Gandhi lacks the chops for leadership.
Pivoting to governance wins, Jaiswal lauded the ban on roadside non-veg vending near public and holy sites. This initiative, he said, will instill order and nurture a sanitary, upbeat public realm, reflecting Bihar’s commitment to cultural sensitivity.
Industrial momentum is another highlight. Jaiswal spotlighted landmark investments: Rs 5,000 crore from Shyam Steel and a proposed Rs 6,000 crore from Shakti & Awadh Steel. ‘These will unlock employment avenues and fuel socio-economic upliftment, marking pivotal strides for Bihar’s future,’ he enthused.
Condolences flowed for the fatal air ambulance incident in Jharkhand’s Chatra. The Ranchi-bound craft with a doctor, paramedic, two attendants, pilot, and co-pilot crashed in a forest Monday night. ‘A devastating tragedy that shakes us all—solidarity with the grieving kin,’ Jaiswal shared, having caught wind via online reports.
