Bihar Minister Breaks Silence On Key Election Issues In A Candid Interview With Mr. Deepak Chaurasia On Live Times

(MENAFN- ForPressRelease) In a major scoop that has captured the attention of political circles across the state, Live Times conducted an exclusive, in-depth interview of Bihar Minister Ashok Choudhary with Mr. Deepak Chaurasia, Director, News – Live Times, on its flagship show Point Blank Special. This exclusive candid and unrestrained discussion comes at a crucial juncture ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections and sheds light on controversies, governance, leadership, and the state's development trajectory.

Bihar Minister Ashok Choudhary began by addressing the recent Congress office vandalism, which he termed 'wrong and avoidable' emphasising the importance of discipline in political protests. He clarified that while citizens have the right to express dissent, it must never cross the line into violence or lawlessness. On personal attacks targeting the Prime Minister's family, he said, "Differences should remain ideological; personal abuse is against democratic values." His remarks signal a call for mature political debate amidst an increasingly polarized electoral environment.

On the Bihar elections, the Minister dismissed opposition allegations regarding vote tampering, calling them a myth designed to mislead voters. He highlighted the achievements of Nitish Kumar's administration, painting a picture of tangible progress: 'From 40% poverty to 16%, from only two engineering colleges to institutions in every district, Bihar has transformed under Nitish Kumar's leadership.' Regarding rumours questioning the Chief Minister's health or his control over governance, Choudhary was unequivocal: "Those who know him understand his discipline, honesty, and focus on development. Such claims are nothing but political gimmicks."

The discussion also ventured into future leadership and educational reforms, with Choudhary advocating for minimum qualifications for legislators: 'If doctors, judges, and chartered accountants require formal qualifications, why should politicians be an exception? Bihar deserves educated and capable leadership.' This proposal is likely to ignite fresh debate on the standards expected of political representatives in the state.

Choudhary addressed the opposition's strategic approach, including Prashant Kishor's political consultancy and Chirag Paswan's ambitions, asserting confidence in JDU's core strength and its alliance with BJP. He dismissed speculation about political realignments, signaling stability within the ruling coalition.

In a statement reflecting on the significance of such in-depth political discussions, Mr. Deepak, Chaurasia, Director- News, said , "In today's fast-paced media environment, it is imperative to provide a platform for leaders to present their perspectives candidly. Point Blank Special aims to delve into the heart of political narratives, offering viewers a comprehensive understanding of the issues that matter."

Echoing this sentiment, Dilip, Founder, CEO, and Editor-in-Chief of Live Times, added, "Truthful journalism is the backbone of a healthy democracy. At Live Times, we are committed to presenting facts without distortion, and must come from the horse's mouth giving citizens the clarity they need to make informed decisions and holding leaders accountable through honest reporting."

This exclusive interview also addressed broader governance issues, including developmental priorities such as infrastructure, education, and social welfare programs, with Choudhary outlining a vision for a Bihar that balances economic growth with social justice while emphasizing measurable, inclusive, and transparent progress. As political activity intensifies in the state, this exclusive Live Times interview has become a focal point among political analysts, media houses, and social media platforms, with Choudhary's candid observations setting the tone for the election debate and highlighting the importance of development, governance, and leadership credibility in shaping voter perception.
