Top INDIA bloc leaders, including Congress MP Rahul Gandhi and the coalition's chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Prasad, on Friday blamed the ruling NDA governments in Bihar and at the Centre for the growing unemployment crisis in the state and reiterated their allegations of "vote theft".

In back-to-back rallies in Bhagalpur and Banka districts, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that BJP leaders, who had exercised their franchise in Delhi, also cast votes in the first phase of the Bihar assembly polls

"Many BJP leaders voted in Bihar yesterday, and the same leaders had also voted in the Delhi elections. On one hand, the BJP leaders are being allowed to cast more than one vote, and on the other .... Names of those who voted for the Congress are being deleted," Gandhi alleged, without mentioning any name.
