The Election Commission of India (ECI) is going to announce the dates of Bihar Assembly Election 2025 soon, and with this the political stir in the state has intensified. In this environment, News 24 has started a special program called ‘Manthan 2025’, where prominent personalities related to Bihar politics are openly keeping their words.
Congress youth leader Kanhaiya Kumar participated on this platform today. Responding to the sharp questions of the famous anchor Garima Singh, he commented on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and also spoke openly about the position of Congress.
Kanhaiya Kumar said that “Congress is like the country.” He admitted that there are many questions about the party, but given the current situation of the country, these questions become even more serious. It is clear from Kanhaiya Kumar’s participation on this platform of News 24 and his clear statements that the Bihar elections are going to be a more frequent and strategic movement before 2025.
Kanhaiya Kumar stated that Narendra Modi is not his personal opponent, but rather that the issue is about ethics, process, and the democratic system. He clarified that he has no personal animosity towards the BJP, but rather a clash of ideologies. He stated that the BJP is part of a multi-party system and that politics is not a playground. He alleged that the government is being formed through electoral irregularities, and that it is the opposition’s responsibility to prove this allegation.

He stated that the opposition will gather evidence and that it is the Election Commission’s duty to take action. Kanhaiya sarcastically asked that even if it is assumed that the government was formed honestly, why were the promises made not fulfilled despite winning a majority three times? He said that no one had taken any written promises from the Prime Minister, yet the public was still given expectations.
Recalling Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s past promises, Kanhaiya asked, “Did people receive 15 lakh rupees in their accounts? Did 2 crore jobs get created every year? Did everyone get a permanent house by 2022? Did farmers’ income double? Did crimes against women stop? Did the country’s debt reduce?”

He also took a dig at the media, saying that when the opposition asks questions, they start answering on behalf of the BJP. He sarcastically said that it seems as if Congress is still ruling in the name of Nehru and Modi is in the role of the opposition, because answers to every question are sought from the past—from the times of Nehru and Patel.
Commenting on the current situation in the state and the country, he said that the NDA has been in power in Bihar for two decades and in the country for 11 years. The BJP is in power in most states and calls itself the world’s largest party. These are the BJP’s own claims.
This outspoken speech by Kanhaiya Kumar has intensified the political stir on the Manthan 2025 platform and his statements have given rise to a new debate.
