Amit Shah Unleashes Blistering Attack in Bihar: 'Jungle Raj' Returns Under Nitish-Tejashwi Alliance

Union Home Minister Amit Shah descended upon Saran, Bihar, with a thunderous address, launching a scathing critique against Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his alliance with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Speaking before a charged crowd, Shah didn't mince words, accusing Kumar of betraying the people's mandate and paving the way for the return of a dreaded 'jungle raj' – a chilling reference to the perceived lawlessness of RJD's past rule.

Shah's fiery speech was a political broadside, painting a stark picture of Bihar's future if the current alliance persists.

He reminded the electorate that the 2020 assembly elections saw the people vote for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), only for Nitish Kumar to abandon the BJP and align with the RJD. "You gave the mandate to the NDA under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, making Nitish Kumar the chief minister," Shah declared, his voice resonating across the rally ground.

"But he chose to sit in Tejashwi Yadav's lap, ignoring your decision and ushering in a period of uncertainty and fear."

The recurring motif of 'jungle raj' was central to Shah's attack. He directly linked the RJD's presence in power to a perceived decline in law and order, evoking memories of a time when, according to him, kidnapping, murder, and extortion were rampant.

"The very people who brought 'jungle raj' back to Bihar have been given a free hand," Shah asserted, appealing to the public's anxieties about safety and governance. He highlighted the plight of the poor, backward classes, and extremely backward classes, claiming that those who oppressed them now share power with Nitish Kumar.

In sharp contrast to his criticisms, Shah lauded the achievements of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government, presenting it as a beacon of stability and development.

He rattled off a list of accomplishments, including the abrogation of Article 370, the ban on triple talaq, and the construction of the Ram Mandir, painting a picture of a strong, decisive leadership committed to national interest. Shah emphasized Modi's commitment to Bihar's progress, citing numerous infrastructure projects and welfare schemes aimed at uplifting the state.

Looking ahead to the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, Shah issued a fervent call to action.

He urged the people of Bihar to grant the BJP a decisive majority, assuring them that only a BJP-led government could pull the state out of the shadow of 'jungle raj' and put it on a path of accelerated growth and prosperity. "Give the BJP a full majority in 2025, and we will make Bihar the most prosperous state in eastern India," he promised, outlining a vision of development, security, and good governance.

The rally underscored the deep political chasm in Bihar, with Shah positioning the BJP as the sole guarantor of the state's future against an alliance he depicted as opportunistic and detrimental to public safety.

His words aimed not just to galvanize BJP supporters but also to sow doubt and fear about the present government, setting a combative tone for the electoral battles to come.
