BHABHUA----------------------------BJP national spokesperson Ajay Alok reached Kaimur on Saturday on the death anniversary of former Prime Minister Bharat Ratna Atal Bihari Vajpayee. In the tribute meeting organized at Maa Mundeshwari Hotel in Bhabua, he paid floral tribute to Vajpayee's oil painting and bowed down. On this occasion, BJP District President Rampravesh Choubey, District Vice President Vinod Pandey, City President Ajay Singh, District President of Mahila Morcha Rita Devi, District President of Yuva Morcha Vikram Pathak and a large number of workers were present. Everyone remembered the contribution of Vajpayee and called him a true national man.

In the press conference organized after the tribute, Ajay Alok made sharp attacks on Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore. Targeting Rahul Gandhi, he said, “Rahul Gandhi calls himself Gandhi, but he is not Gandhi, he is a Gandhi. We don't want a borrowed Gandhi. The whole country knows who Mahatma Gandhi was, who started the movement from Champaran in Bihar and got the country freedom. Even today, Bihar and India are running on his ideology, while Rahul Gandhi is deviating from that ideology and misleading the public.”

He raised the question that why Rahul Gandhi is keeping distance from the public. “Tomorrow Rahul Gandhi is coming to Sasaram and will land directly by helicopter. Why doesn't he come via Kaimur so that he can meet the people here. A leader who is afraid of coming among the public, how can he talk about the country's interest.”

Ajay Alok further alleged that many leaders involved in Rahul Gandhi's journey are on bail. He said that “People are asking when will Mangroo’s land be returned. Their land was taken over in the name of getting them a job in the railways. There are more than two hundred Mangroos in Bihar whose land was snatched. Those who do politics for the poor themselves come down in helicopters and adopt a feudal attitude.”

He also took a dig at Prashant Kishore of Jan Suraj. Ajay Alok said that “We don’t know who Prashant Kishore is. He is an election mushroom, which grows in the fields as soon as elections come. Last year noodles also came, this time there is no trace of it. Such people try to make a place in politics only by making statements during the election season.”
