Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday slammed the BJP-JD(U) over the security situation for women in Bihar and asserted that the Mahagathbandhan is fully committed to their empowerment and economic upliftment.
Kharge said the Congress' promises are not just to garner votes during elections or right before them, but rather, they are the same promises that the party will fulfil.
"The BJP-JDU government in Bihar has been in power for 20 years. If even today, Modi ji has to say that in Bihar 'daughters-in-law and daughters are not safe', then this is his own self-admission that in 20 years, they have not made Bihar safe!" Kharge said in a post in Hindi on X.
He said the situation of women and children is extremely alarming.
Kharge claimed that 70% of children are afflicted with anaemia and 40% are victims of malnutrition. Only 11% of infants receive adequate nutrition, he said, citing the National Family Health Survey (NFHS) data
