PATNA, Nov. 4 -- "Prime Minister Narendra Modi feels insulted so frequently-he should set up an 'Apaman Mantralaya' to record every jibe, saving his time for real issues," Congress general secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra quipped at a massive rally in Sonabarsa, Saharsa, on Monday, asking the ministry also to compile daily attacks on her family that "could fill a library." She accused Modi of dodging NDA's 20-year Bihar failures-corruption, joblessness, education collapse-while fixating on trivia and election-eve bribes. "Why offer money now, after two decades?" she challenged, urging voters to oust the "remote-controlled" regime for Mahagathbandhan's progress blueprint. In Sonabarsa, amidst hundreds of waving tricolours and RJD flags, Vadra lamented Bihar's silenced voice under NDA, where even CM Nitish Kumar lacked say in decisions dictated from Delhi. She blasted the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) as a "conspiracy" disenfranchising 6.5 million voters and denying welfare access. Once a cradle of IAS-IPS talent, Bihar's education now reeled from paper leaks and decay, she said, while youth migrated amid PSU sell-offs to BJP allies. Outlining Mahagathbandhan pledges, Vadra promised one government job per jobless family, scrapped exam fees, free candidate travel, advance job calendars with Bihar-resident quotas, 2,000-acre edu-industrial clusters, Rs.2 lakh startup aid for poor entrepreneurs, English model schools statewide, Rs.30,000 monthly for Jeevika Didis, hiked old-age/widow pensions to Rs.1,500 (plus Rs.200 yearly), Rs.2,000 monthly under 'Mai Bahin' Yojana (permanent, unlike NDA's one-off dole of Rs.10,000), land for landless, restored Old Pension Scheme, regularised contract staff, 200 free power units, and crop MSP guarantees. "These run successfully in Karnataka, Telangana-Bihar deserves the same," she declared. Vadra then spearheaded a high-energy roadshow in Samastipur's Rosera constituency, a key first-phase battleground. Perched atop an open jeep adorned with Congress banners and garlands, she waved enthusiastically as throngs lined streets, showering petals and chanting "Priyanka ji zindabad" and "Mahagathbandhan ayega." The procession snaked through bustling markets, past tea stalls and temples, halting briefly for Vadra to alight and clasp hands with women and youth, promising dignity and self-rule. "Reject Delhi's puppet show-vote for jobs, education, empowerment," she urged from a makeshift stage, energising the crowd with calls to end migration and restore Bihar's pride. Local Congress workers distributed pamphlets detailing the job guarantee, drawing cheers as drummers and folk artists amplified the charged atmosphere in the tightly contested seat. In Hajipur, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge warned BJP will sideline Nitish post-polls for a "chela," accusing him of betraying JP, Lohia, Karpoori Thakur by embracing "anti-women, Manu Smriti" BJP, forsaking Dalits and backwards. "Nitish is their puppet," he thundered. Humorously, Kharge mocked Modi's tours: "Like his son's wedding." He slammed Modi's Gujarat (13.5 years) and PM (12 years) for stagnation, Nitish's nine oaths as Bihar CM and 20-year rule for migration, Rs.70,000 crore scams, 50 lakh vacant posts against 2-crore-jobs promise. "Lies' carnival-truth alone, critics anti-national." Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav, at Bettiah in East Champaran for RJD's Kalyanpur nominee, highlighted Nitish's Patna roadshow absence: "NDA bridegroom missing-distancing slyly." He foresaw Tejashwi victory toppling Delhi: "Bihar's shift unnerves them." Blaming BJP for poverty and exodus, he vowed: "Biharis will evict them." INDIA bloc-RJD, Congress, CPI, CPI(M), CPI(ML), VIP, IIP-escalates pre-November 6 phase one, fusing job-education vows, anti-remote rhetoric, socialist legacy defense. November 14 verdict pits Mahagathbandhan's welfare revolution against NDA dominance. (With inputs from Sandeep Bhaskar in Bettiah)...
