New Delhi, October 24:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a fierce attack on the opposition alliance in Bihar, declaring that the state’s dark phase of “jungle raj” under previous regimes will remain etched in public memory for the next 100 years.
Addressing BJP workers through the NaMo App at the “Mera Booth Sabse Mazboot: Yuva Samvaad” event, Modi urged party cadres to educate young voters about the lawlessness, corruption, and misgovernance that once defined Bihar’s politics.
“No matter how hard the opposition tries to hide its wrongdoings, the people of Bihar will never forgive them,” PM Modi said. “Senior citizens should tell the youth what real misrule looked like,” he added.
Calls opposition bloc ‘Lathbandhan’
Taking a sharp swipe at the opposition’s Mahagathbandhan, Modi dubbed it “Lathbandhan” — a gang of criminals masquerading as an alliance.
“Most of their leaders, from Delhi to Patna, are out on bail. Their politics thrives on corruption and appeasement,” the Prime Minister said.
Credits Nitish Kumar and NDA for Bihar’s turnaround
Praising Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the NDA government, Modi said Bihar had moved beyond its past and embraced progress.
“Under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, Bihar has risen from the shadows of jungle raj. Today, every Bihari speaks with pride,” he declared.
PM Modi highlighted the state’s transformation in governance, infrastructure, and public safety, attributing it to the NDA’s focus on development and stability.
The remarks come amid heightened political activity ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, where both the NDA and Mahagathbandhan are ramping up outreach campaigns to woo young voters.
