Aiming To Stop Modi Juggernaut | Bihar Deputy CM Reminds Of Advani Rath Yatra | Newshour Agenda

In this episode of The Newshour Agenda, host Padmaja Joshi will discuss how Tejashwi Yadav, the deputy chief minister of Bihar, launched a stinging assault on Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday, saying that the state's governing "Mahagathbandhan," which is led by his boss Nitish Kumar, will halt "Modi's chariot" just as his father Lalu Prasad had ended "Advani's rath yatra." The young RJD leader said that opposition parties were uniting to overthrow the BJP, which he accused of "failing to keep promises" made in the past and of "raising the "Hindu vs Muslim" binary whenever its flaws were pointed out." The comments were made by Yadav in a salient address he gave at a gathering sponsored by the state's handloom weavers' cooperative organisation, where he also stressed that "no social group can be deprived of its rights" and that "the country belongs to all communities." We are joined by a few panelists expressing their views on this issue. “This is less about stopping BJP’s rath and I think this is an intervention which could be called Congress ki kurbaani,” stated Shehzad Poonawalla, BJP National Spokesperson.Listen In!#bihar #deputychiefminister #tejashwiyadav #chiefminister #nitishkumar #advanirathyatra #RJD #hinduvsmuslimbinary #primeministernarendramodi #bharatiyajantaparty #timesnowshow #thenewshouragenda #padmajajoshi
