‘Gandhi family’s history is full of vote chori’: Nishikant Dubey on Rahul’s allegations (IANS Interview)
In Bhagalpur, Bihar, on Sunday, BJP MP Nishikant Dubey took on the Leader of the Opposition in the Parliament, Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of repeating “vote chori” (vote‑stolen) claims. Dubey said the people of Bihar are tired of hearing Congress members repeat the same accusations and warned that the youth will fight back in the upcoming Assembly election.
Dubey slams Rahul Gandhi’s “vote chori” claims
During a chat with , Dubey argued that Rahul Gandhi has no real evidence for the “vote chori” allegations. He pointed to the history of the Gandhi family—“there are thousands of examples of vote theft” on the national stage—and said the Bihar public is fed up with repeating the same story. The MP added that any “two or three seats” the Congress could win in the state would be just a short‑lived episode.
“Gen Z” voters and Rahul’s foreign trips
Dubey also criticized Rahul Gandhi for asking “Gen Z” voters to decide Bihar’s future while the MP was busy on international trips. “Rahul talks about traveling to Cambodia and Vietnam while claiming his family has no property,” the MP said. “If you’re 55‑56 years old, can you really claim you’re a young, fresh voice for the next generation?” Dubey said the emerging “Gen Z” voters would respond positively to the BJP and their allies.
Priyanka Gandhi’s dance in West Champaran
When asked about Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra participating in a local Tharu dance in West Champaran, Dubey praised her for engaging with the people: “If Priyanka can dance well, that’s good.” He, however, criticized Rahul Gandhi’s comment that “PM Modi can dance for votes,” calling it “indecent” and stating that it showed the Gandhi family lacked good values.
On Bangladeshi infiltrators and tribal populations
Dubey warned that districts like Kishanganj, Araria, Katihar, and Purnea in Bihar already face a serious influx of Bangladeshi infiltrators, which he said is a threat to local security and livelihoods. He also noted a decline in the tribal population—from 45 % in 1951 to under 25 % now—and a rise in Muslim voters from 9 % to 26 %, attributes he tied to the encroachment by Bangladeshis. He said the election would expose parties that rely on “vote bank politics” and “pro‑Muslim” tactics.
Criticism of Telangana CM Revanth Reddy’s comments
When Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy claimed that “Congress means Muslims, and Muslims mean Congress,” Dubey echoed the sentiment, labeling Congress a party that cares only for Muslims and not for Hindutva or the nation.
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinate’s attack on journalists
Finally, Dubey responded to Congress national spokesperson Supriya Shrinate’s claim that journalists are merely “brokers” for the government. The BJP MP snarked that Supriya herself was once a journalist, hinting at a possible double standard.
