PTI,&nbsp;Bettiah (Bihar): Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he talks about other countries in his speeches but not about the problems facing India such as unemployment.
Gandhi, who arrived in West Champaran district for his second round of campaigning in the ongoing state elections, also attacked Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over unemployment and the issue of migration.
Addressing his rally at Valmiki Nagar, the former Congress president said he was pained to see that Prime Minister Modis effigy was burnt in Punjab on the occasion of Dusshera, and added that it reflected the "anger" of youths and farmers.
"Youths and farmers of Punjab and Bihar and youths of Uttar Pradesh are angry that our PM keeps making speeches with Bihar Chief Minister and talks about other countries, but not the problems confronting our country such as unemployment," he said.
He said the prime minister and the Bihar chief minister used to raise the issue of unemployment earlier but no longer now.
"Now, the PM does not say in his speeches that he would give two crore jobs. Because the people of Bihar have realised that he had lied.
"I can guarantee that if the PM comes today and promises two crore jobs to youths, perhaps the crowd would shoo him off, telling him that he had lied," Gandhi said.
The Congress knows how to run a country, how to stand with farmers and give employment, but "we don't know how to lie", he said.
Criticising the Centre over the three recently passed farm laws, he said its "pilot project" was implemented in Bihar in 2006 when the mandi system was abolished in the state.
"What Nitish Kumar did in Bihar in 2006, Narendra Modi is doing in Punjab, Haryana and across the country," Gandhi said.
The Congress has fielded Pravesh Kumar Mishra for the Valmiki Nagar Lok Sabha bye-election, while Rajesh Singh has been nominated for the assembly poll from there.
The by-poll to Valmiki Nagar Lok Sabha constituency has been necessitated due to death of JD(U) MP Baidyanath Mahto.
The Lok Sabha by-poll will be held on November 7 and the results will be announced on November 10 alongside the results of Bihar assembly elections.
Later in the day, Rahul Gandhi is scheduled to address a rally at Kusheswar Asthan in Darbhanga.

Nainital, PTI: The Uttarakhand High Court on Tuesday directed a CBI inquiry into the allegations of corruption against CM Trivendra Singh Rawat. The court also quashed an FIR against a journalist for a social media post alleging that a man from Jharkhand deposited money after demonetisation into the bank account of a couple related to the CM. Issuing the order, Justice Ravindra Maithani also said all documents related to the case be submitted before the court.

Kolkata, PTI: The health condition of legendary Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee, currently on ventilator support, worsened further on Tuesday, and efforts were being made to boost his blood platelet count, a senior doctor at the hospital, where he is undergoing treatment, said.
The 85-year-old thespian's creatinine and urea levels have been on the rise since Monday, and nephrologists were mulling the option of providing "renal replacement therapy support", the doctor said.
The actor, under treatment for the past 22 days, is also suffering from secondary pneumonia, he said.
"Mr Chatterjee is barely conscious. He is being treated for dehydration. His kidneys are not functioning well.
The octogenarian's urea and creatinine levels have been on the rise. His overall condition has worsened. He is definitely critical but we have managed to stabilise his condition a bit.
"Our nephrologist is taking a call on whether he may be given any support in the form of renal replacement therapy.
He is on a ventilator. His saturation is more than 95 per cent with basic oxygen support," the doctor explained.
There has been no deterioration in the mental status of the veteran actor, he said.
Doctors were planning to carry out blood transfusion on Tuesday, hoping that it would improve Chatterjee''s condition to an extent.
"His platelet count has not gone down from what it was yesterday. We have given him medicines to bring up that count.
We are planning a blood transfusion later today, hopefully that will improve his condition," he said.
Chatterjee was put on ventilator with endotracheal intubation on Monday evening to protect his airways.
Endotracheal intubation is a procedure in which a tube is placed into the windpipe through the mouth or nose.
Describing Chatterjee's "unconsciousness" as their primary concern, the doctor said that at the moment they will "focus on dealing with the secondary infections so that the patient can be pulled out of the ventilation support".

Embarrassed over the development that came on the eve of the first phase of voting, Chirag accused chief minister Nitish Kumar of "stooping so low", suggesting that he suspected the JD(U) president's hand in the damaging video. The JDU took a swipe at Paswan saying "Politics is about hard reality, not the make-believe world of acting".

With a sigh of relief, a top bureaucrat of the state government said the high court order declaring puja pandals no-entry zones to prevent the surge of Covid-19 cases helped the administration a lot.
"Otherwise, it could have been a situation beyond our control. We also thank the common people for showing restraint and staying at home. We hope that better days are coming soon," he said.

The Calcutta High Court on October 20 declared all pandals across West Bengal no-entry zones to prevent the surge of Covid-19 cases in the state.
The recovery of 3,917 Covid-19 patients on Tuesday took the total number of cured people to 3,14,003, the health department said in a bulletin.
The discharge rate was recorded at 87.76 per cent.

Her resignation comes weeks after both the company and she faced questions - both internally from employees and from the Indian government and Opposition- over how political content is regulated on the massively popular social media platform.

A day before the first phase of voting for Bihar elections, Congress president&nbsp;Sonia Gandhi&nbsp;Tuesday alleged the JDU-BJP&nbsp;government has deviated from its path and was &ldquo;high on power and ego&rdquo;, saying the time has come for ushering in a change in the state.
In a four-minute video shared on the Congress&rsquo; Twitter handle, Gandhi said the&nbsp;Nitish Kumar-led government is &ldquo;neither saying good nor doing good&rdquo; and labourers are helpless, farmers are upset and youth disappointed with it.
&ldquo;Drunk on power and arrogance, the government in Bihar has deviated from its path. Their words and deeds are suspect. The labourers are helpless, the farmers are upset and the youth are disappointed. People are bearing the brunt of the fragile state of the economy.
