Nitish Kumar govt destroyed Bihar; education, healthcare systems finished off: Rahul
New Delhi (PTI): The Nitish Kumar government in Bihar has destroyed the state by finishing off its education and healthcare systems, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed during an interaction with youngsters.
Gandhi put out on X a video on Monday of his recent interaction with a group of Gen Z youngsters and said this generation believes in 'satya' (truth) and 'ahimsa' (non-violence), and will lead India towards a brighter future.
"The energy of India’s Gen Z gives me hope. This generation believes in satya and ahimsa, carries compassion and courage, and will lead India towards a brighter, more just future. I'm excited to see them step into the political sphere," the leader of opposition in Lok Sabha said.
In the video, Gandhi, who has a free-wheeling interaction with the youngsters, has said the Congress is stating that if one is Dalit, Adivasi, EBC, Muslim, all of them should get equal opportunity and the whole wealth should not be concentrated in one or two hands.
Asked about the Bihar polls by a student, he said, "For 20 years, there is Nitish Kumar's government there and they have destroyed Bihar. Secondly, the education system -- be it primary or secondary education, university or college education, has been finished off. There are paper leaks happening one after another...they put RSS vice chancellors in universities."
The basic structure of education system has been "finished off" in Bihar, he alleged.
The healthcare system has also been destroyed, Gandhi added.
The video comes a day before polling for the second and final phase of the Bihar Assembly elections.
The first phase of polling in the Bihar elections was held on November 6, and the second phase is scheduled on November 11. The counting of votes will be held on November 14.

Two arrested in K'taka for assaulting minors, uploading CSAM content
Bengaluru (PTI): Two men were arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting two minor girls, recording the acts on mobile phones and uploading the videos online as child sexual abuse material, police said on Thursday.
The accused have been identified as Kiran Kumar (29), hailing from Chitradurga district, and Aditya M K (20), hailing from Shivamogga district, they said.
A probe was initiated after information was received from the NCRP portal regarding a suspected instance of creation of Child Sexual Abuse Material (CSAM) for online dissemination, police said.
Accordingly, a case was registered at Kaggalipura Police Station under relevant sections of the IT Act on May 10, they added.
Investigation revealed that two minor girl victims were exploited and videos were created and uploaded to the internet. The child victims have subsequently recorded their statements as per procedure and further necessary legal steps have been taken, Pronab Mohanty Director General of Police, Cyber Command, said in a statement.
Based on the statements of the victims, the accused persons, who allegedly assaulted the minors, recorded the acts on mobile phones and uploaded the videos online, were arrested, he said.
Following the probe, sections 65(2) (rape) and 70 (gangrape) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita, along with relevant sections of the POCSO Act, have been added to the FIR, police said.
