Patna: With a day left for first phase of Lok sabha election, former Chief Minister of Bihar Dr. Jagannath Mishra has strongly opposed to vote for NDA and appealed to Muslims to vote for those who are in position to defeat BJP and its allies. Ruling JD-U in Bihar is part of NDA.

“The demolishers of Babri Masjid should not be given the governance of the country. Today, the country is being challenged seriously by communalism and terrorism. Therefore, communalist extremists must be kept away from the governance" said Mr. Mishra to media persons.

“The incidents of terror have been taking place for last few years which terrified the common people. Today a big question before the people is that which party should form the government at centre. Majority of the people wants a secular government at centre which will curb the communalism and terrorism” said former senior Congress leader Dr. Mishra adding “Definitely during the NDA government terrorism was increased. So, it is not worthy to take charge as central government.”

After quitting Congress Dr Mishra formed his own party. Later he joined JD-U. But two weeks ago he quit JD-U too.

“The root of the terrorism in India is demolition of Babri Masjid which created insecurity among the minority community. The party which demolished Babri Masjid is now claiming to hold the post of central government it is tragedy”

Mentioning the controversial issues in BJP manifesto, he said “BJP once again raised in its manifesto the issues which have been forgotten by people such as Ram Mandir, Article 370 and Uniform Civil Code. How government could be handed over to those persons who are facing trial in courts.”

He said that after Gujarat riot, then prime minister of India Mr. Atal Bihari Vajpayee had said that Gujrat riot is a blot on the face of nation and he wanted to remove the Narindra Modi but it was LK Advani who did not let him to do so.

“These kinds of leaders will promote the communalism and violence. Therefore, I appeal to all the secular people specially Muslims not to vote for any party which will help the formation of BJP government at centre. Vote for any candidate who may defeat the candidate of NDA alliance” he said.

Criticizing Bihar chef minister Mr. Nitish Kumar he said “Chief Minister claims that he will not accept the BJP’s agendas but it is known for all people that if BJP forms government at centre with the help of JD-U, then Mr. Nitish Kumar would not be able to stop BJP from acting upon its agendas and he will not bring down the BJP government” he said.

He alleged that the state government of Bihar did not much on PM-15 point program, Indira Awas Yojna, employment guarantee scheme, Madrasa modernisation programme and the appointment of Urdu translators.
