Patna: Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has launched a sharp attack on the BJP-led NDA government in Bihar, accusing it of presiding over mass unemployment, migration and neglect of women’s rights.

Speaking at her first public rally in Bihar on Friday, during the party’s Har Ghar Adhikar Yatra in Motihari, the Congress general secretary said the ruling coalition had “stolen votes” for two decades but failed to bring development.

“In 70 years, the Congress strengthened your rights,” she told the crowd at Gandhi Maidan. “When we were in power, people from here became IAS and IFS officers. Today, Bihar is sending only labourers. It is time for change.”

Gandhi criticised both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, accusing them of working for industrialists rather than the people. She named tycoons Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani as PM Modi’s “friends”, questioning: “They walk hand in hand with him – but have they ever held your hand?”

She also drew attention to the long history of migration from Bihar, recounting that construction workers she met in Himachal Pradesh, Delhi and Kerala were all from the state. “There is no employment here. The entire population is migrating,” she said.

Gandhi accused the NDA of offering cash to women in the run-up to elections rather than delivering long-term respect and security. “True respect will come when women receive fair wages, when their daughters feel safe at school,” she said.

She urged voters to “remove this incompetent BJP government” and back the opposition Grand Alliance. “You should be able to say with pride: I am a Bihari. I should get a job in Bihar. My family should not have to leave,” she added.

Key themes from Gandhi’s Bihar visit

  • Education and industry under Congress: Gandhi said Congress governments had built educational institutions, industries, dams and roads, while NDA rule had failed to create jobs.
  • Migration crisis: She highlighted the large-scale migration of Biharis for work, linking it to a lack of employment at home.
  • Women’s dignity: Gandhi said respect for women would come not from cash handouts but from safety, fair pay and opportunity.
  • NDA’s two-decade rule: She accused the ruling alliance of making empty promises ahead of every election without delivering results.
  • Call for change: Gandhi urged voters to support the opposition Grand Alliance to bring jobs and dignity back to the state.

Outreach to women in Patna

Before the rally, Gandhi held an hour-long interaction with about 2,000 women at Patna’s Sadakat Ashram under the programme Shakti Adhikar (Women’s Empowerment). Women from diverse backgrounds – including domestic workers, ASHA and Anganwadi workers, self-help groups, and professionals – spoke of unemployment, poverty and insecurity.

Gandhi promised a monthly allowance of Rs 2,500 for needy women if Congress came to power, free healthcare up to Rs 25 lakh on the lines of Rajasthan’s insurance scheme, and land rights in women’s names for the landless.

“You don’t recognise your own power, but political parties do,” she told the gathering. “That’s why they are giving you money before elections. They know they cannot form a government without you.”

The event ended with Gandhi taking selfies with the women and singing Hum Honge Kamyab with the crowd.

  • Tensions have escalated in Bihar after five revenue officials in Bhojpur district were suspended for participating in an ongoing strike that disrupted public services. The action, ordered by the district administration, aims to restore normal functioning and enforce discipline within the department.

Authorities stated that the officials continued their protest despite clear instructions to resume work, calling it a violation of service rules and a direct obstruction to governance. The suspended staff were posted across multiple regions, highlighting the wider impact of the strike on administrative operations.

The move is part of a broader crackdown by the state government, which has adopted a zero-tolerance stance against disruptions caused by employee protests. With the situation unfolding, all eyes are now on whether the suspensions will resolve the issue or intensify the standoff.

  • A late-night raid at Beur Central Jail in Patna has sparked fresh concerns over prison security after officials recovered a mobile phone and data cable from inside the high-security premises. The operation, conducted between 10:50 PM and 12:45 AM, was part of an intensified crackdown across Bihar’s jails.

The search was led by senior officials along with a large police team, covering multiple sections of the jail, including the Ganga Block where the items were found. Following the recovery, a warder has been suspended, while other staff members are under investigation for possible lapses.

Authorities say such inspections are routine, but the incident has raised serious questions about internal oversight and security systems in one of the state’s key correctional facilities, especially amid ongoing statewide prison checks.

  • A controversial notice from a nursing college in Bihar has sparked outrage after students were warned that getting married during their course could lead to immediate cancellation of admission. The directive, displayed at a GNM school in Gopalganj, quickly went viral on social media and raised serious questions about students’ rights and personal freedom.

The principal defended the rule, stating that students sign a declaration at the time of admission agreeing not to marry during the three-year course. However, the district administration stepped in, revoked the order, and demanded an explanation within 12 hours, warning of strict action if the response is unsatisfactory.

Authorities have now launched an inquiry to investigate how such a directive was issued, as debates continue around outdated restrictions and the need for student-friendly policies in educational institutions.

  • Nitish Kumar met Samrat Choudhary at the CM residence in Patna, marking their first in-person interaction after the leadership change. The brief 20-minute meeting focused on Bihar’s political climate and administrative matters, with senior leaders also present, signaling coordinated discussions within the government.

Photos from the meeting showed a cordial atmosphere, including a moment where Kumar placed his hand on Choudhary’s shoulder—described as a gesture of guidance. The interaction has drawn attention amid ongoing political developments in the state.

The liquor prohibition policy remained a key topic, with Choudhary reaffirming its strict enforcement and linking it to Kumar’s legacy, while also citing support from Narendra Modi. However, voices like Anant Singh continue to question its effectiveness, keeping the debate alive even as the government signals no immediate change.

  • The Bihar government is set to roll out an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS), bringing AI-powered surveillance and automation to roads across the state. From highways to city intersections, smart cameras will detect violations like overspeeding, red-light jumping, and not wearing helmets or seatbelts—making enforcement faster and more efficient.

Beyond traffic control, the system will use facial recognition to identify repeat offenders and assist police in tracking suspects. With 500–700 locations planned and a central control hub supported by district-level monitoring centres, authorities aim to strengthen both road safety and law enforcement.

With an estimated cost of ₹300 crore, the project will also feature real-time incident alerts and adaptive traffic signals to reduce congestion. While it promises smarter roads and quicker response times, it also raises important questions about privacy and data security.

  • WhatsApp is working on a powerful new feature called “After Reading” that could completely change how we message. With this update, users will be able to make messages disappear automatically after they’ve been seen, giving more control over privacy and conversations.

Unlike current disappearing messages, this feature focuses on when the message is actually read. Users may get options like 5 minutes, 1 hour, or even 12 hours after viewing—making it easier to manage sensitive chats and keep things temporary.

Though still in development, this update signals a big step toward smarter and safer messaging. If rolled out successfully, it could redefine how we share information online.
