NEW DELHI: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday criticized union home minister Amit Shah, accusing him of delivering repetitive and unproductive speeches during his visits to the state.Referring to his speech as “pakau-thakau,” Yadav alleged that BJP practices ‘politics of negativity’ and avoids discussing core issues such as unemployment, inflation, education, healthcare, poverty and large-scale migration from Bihar.Speaking to reporters, Yadav said, “Amit Shah speaks the same ‘pakau-thaku’ things whenever he visits. He should speak about the development of Bihar, about ending unemployment and inflation. He doesn’t speak about any of these. Bihar will not benefit if they keep abusing Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Unless unemployment, poverty and migration end in Bihar, they do not speak about education and health facilities. Their is only the politics of negativity. Let them do it, this doesn’t matter.”The strong reaction came in response to Amit Shah’s recent visit to Sitamarhi on Friday where he laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Janki Mata Temple at Punaura Dham. Later, while addressing a public rally, Shah accused the Congress party and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav‘s camp of opposing the government’s anti-terror Operation Sindoor.He also criticized them for opposing the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list in Bihar, accusing them of indulging in vote bank politics. He alleged that opposition parties oppose the SIR to protect “infiltrators” in their vote bank. The union home minister asserted that this exercise is not happening for the first time and dates back to former Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru’s tenure.
