PATNA: Congress leaders raised local issues while attacking the NDA government at the virtual rally for Madhubani and Supaul districts on Wednesday.
Local Congress leaders talked about migrant labourers, closed sugar mills, the ongoing row over the GI tag for makhana and teaching of Maithili in schools. Congress MLC Prem Chandra Mishra said changing the GI tag of Mithila Makhana to that of Bihar was a controversy and a way to destroy the identity of the region.
“We will never let this happen. Can Hajipur bananas be called that of Bihar, or khaja of silao and Bhagalpuri silk for instance are named after the region. Also, the present government had intentionally removed Maithili teaching from schools as they did not want students to study this language. They are afraid that the students from this region will become IAS and IPS officers,” said Mishra.
Former MP Shakeel Ahmad, MLA from Benipatti in Madhubani, Bhawana Jha, former Haryana minister Captain Ajay Yadav and Alka Lamba talked about the plights of migrant labourers.
Senior Congress leader Pramod Tiwari hit out at CM Nitish Kumar.
