The voters in Bihar, as far as the Congress is concerned, can focus on the fight against communal forces. The AICC posters meant for the state call upon the voters to ‘‘elect those who unify society and don’t break it (chuniye unhein jo samaj ko jodate hain, todate nahin).’’
The much-touted aam aadmi has disappeared from the party publicity material without a trace. Though an after-thought, AICC secretary (media) Tom Vadakkan has an interesting explanation to this. ‘‘We are busy making the aam aadmi a khaas aadmi through measures like the Employment Guarantee Bill.’’ This is a joke. The real fact is that without effective opposition to the Congress at the Center, especially after the spectacular disintegration of the BJP the Congress has become arrogant and haughty.
- All the four posters carry photographs of Congress president Sonia Gandhi. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh has met the same fate as aam aadmi. He is also not visible anywhere on the election posters.
- Congress general secretary Ambika Soni defends this arguing that the Congress ‘‘has a tradition of using only its president’s photographs. It is another matter that earlier, we used to have the president holding the post of prime minister too.’’
