"People of Bihar will not tolerate this dictatorship": Priyanka Gandhi slams Bihar Police for "stopping" Rahul Gandhi's car

New Delhi [India], May 15 (ANI): Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday slammed the Bihar Police for allegedly stopping the Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha, Rahul Gandhi's car from going to the event at Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga, calling the act shameful, condemnable and cowardly.
"Stopping the Leader of Opposition Shri Rahul Gandhi ji, who was going to interact with the students under the 'Shiksha Nyay Samvad' program at Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga, is a very shameful, condemnable and cowardly act," Priyanka Gandhi said in a post on X.
She said that people of Bihar would not tolerate the "dictatorship" of the NDA government in the State.
"The JDU-BJP coalition government, which is bent on dictatorship, should tell whether it is a crime for the Leader of Opposition to go to Bihar or is it a crime to raise the voice of Dalits, backward, deprived and poor? The people of Bihar, the land of justice and revolution, will not tolerate this dictatorship," she said.

Earlier in the day, Rahul Gandhi alleged he was stopped by the Bihar Police on his way to Ambedkar hostel in Darbhanga and that the central government is against democracy, the Constitution, and the minorities.
"The Bihar Police tried to stop me. But they could not stop me because your power (minority community) is watching over me. We told PM Narendra Modi that you have to conduct census... Under your pressure, PM Narendra Modi announced caste census in the country. Scared of your pressure, he placed the Constitution on his forehead. But their government is against democracy, the Constitution, and the minorities. This is the government of Adani-Ambani and not yours," Rahul Gandhi said, addressing the gathering in Darbhanga.
"I guarantee that the moment our government forms in India and in Bihar, and implements everything that you deserve," he added.
In a post on X, Rahul Gandhi asked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar when the dialogue became a "crime in the state."
"NDA's "Double Engine Dhokebaaz Sarkaar" in Bihar is preventing me from interacting with Dalit and backward students in Ambedkar Hostel. Since when has dialogue become a crime? Nitish ji, what are you afraid of? Do you want to hide the state of education and social justice in Bihar?" the Lok Sabha LoP said.
"India is a democracy, it is run by the Constitution, not by dictatorship! No one can stop us from raising our voice for social justice and education," the Congress leader posted on X.
Rahul Gandhi is in Bihar to launch 'Shiksha Nyay Samvad' in Darbhanga today.
Earlier Bihar Congress protested against the NDA government and alleged that the Darbhanga District Administration had tried to stop Lok Sabha Leader of Opposition (LoP) and Congress MP Rahul Gandhi's programme at Ambedkar Hostel in Darbhanga, Bihar. (ANI)
