As the campaign for the Bihar Assembly Elections intensifies, the war of words between political parties has escalated. Sanjay Jha, the National Executive President of the Janata Dal (United) initiated a fresh controversy on Monday by launching a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi.

Speaking to the media, Jha labeled Rahul Gandhi a "Political Tourist." He criticized Gandhi for visiting states only during election time, stating, Rahul Gandhi visits states only during elections. He never participates consistently in the political process or engages with people's issues. His role is limited only to that of a tourist.Musical Ganesh with Red Velvet Box (Silver Musical Ganesh

Jha further highlighted Gandhi’s perceived lack of commitment by referencing a past statement. He recalled that Rahul Gandhi had previously spoken extensively about "vote theft" but has not mentioned the issue even once now.

Jha mocked him, saying, The truth that the issue is already over and holds no substance has become clear to him. He was making that accusation merely for political gain.Also Read: Bihar 2025: Deputy Chief Minister post for LJP(R)? What did Chirag Paswan say..?

The JD(U) leader is clearly targeting Rahul Gandhi’s perceived lack of sustained interest in the crucial issues facing a state like Bihar, attempting to portray him as a leader who appears only when elections are due. Jha’s statement is part of the broader political offensive by the NDA alliance in Bihar against the Congress-led Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance).

Overall, Sanjay Jha's harsh remarks question the political seriousness and public commitment of the Congress leader, reflecting the JD(U)'s strategy to highlight the opposition's perceived inconsistency ahead of the upcoming polls.Also Read: Trump's Deepavali Greetings: US President calls it the Victory of Light over Darkness
