BJP is ruling in Bihar and also at center, then why both of these engines have failed.” He questioned. He also said that double engine has also failed to restart mining of Goa and also provide employment to the youths. “BJP here is doing false propaganda of ten years of power and development, that too using money of taxpayers by displaying banners on electricity poles.” He said.
