Election Despatch With Preeti Choudhry: Jobs Vanish, Farmers In Tears As Parties Fight Over Legacy

This special report from Bihar delves into the political battle over the legacy of two-time Chief Minister and Bharat Ratna recipient, Karpoori Thakur, amidst a landscape of industrial decay and farmer distress in Samastipur. A local resident poignantly states, ‘The government is completely unemployed.’ The programme examines the stark reality of joblessness following the shutdown of the Rameshwar Jute Mill, which has pushed thousands into uncertainty. It also highlights the plight of tobacco farmers who are facing severe losses due to GST, forcing them into debt. While political parties, including the BJP and Mahagathbandhan, vie to claim the legacy of ‘Jan Nayak’ Karpoori Thakur, the report captures the public’s anguish over migration and lack of development, contrasting it with a unique symbol of communal harmony at the Kudeshwar Dham temple, where a Shivling and a Mazar coexist.
