Countering Tejashwi’s allegations, Choudhary said, “The NDA government is united and will contest the assembly elections under Nitish’s leadership. He is and will remain the face of NDA in Bihar.”JD(U), a major ally of the BJP, also tried to downplay the controversy, saying that there is no doubt over Nitish’s leadership in the assembly elections.“Top leaders of BJP have already said that Nitish Kumar will remain the face of NDA in Bihar and will continue to serve as CM for the next term as well,” JD(U) MLC Neeraj Kumar said.Samrat Choudary during his speech, also reacted to Tejashwi Yadav’s allegations that BJP was anti-Dalit and anti-reservation.Referring to Tejashwi’s claim that two universities were created out of the approval of 10 universities under the RJD regime, Choudhary said that altogether 23 universities were built under Nitish’s regime.“This is a reality, and anybody can check it from the records of the state government,” he added.Highlighting the objective behind the launch of ‘Dr Ambedkar Samagra Seva Abhiyan’, the deputy chief minister said that it was aimed at fulfilling Ambedkar’s dreams of inclusive development.Under the campaign, Dalits hamlets would be provided basic amenities like drains, connecting roads and potable water. The officials concerned will also verify whether the people living in Dalit hamlets were getting benefits of Ujjwala Yojna and Ayushman Bharat.“If any lapses are found, corrective measures will be taken immediately,” he asserted.
