In a fiery rally in Siwan, Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the RJD and Congress, accusing them of prioritizing self-interest over the state’s development and harkening back to a bygone era of misrule. His sharp criticism centered around the phrase “Parivaar ka Vikas,” highlighting what he characterized as the parties’ focus on the advancement of a select few rather than the broader population.

Modi painted a stark contrast, praising the Nitish Kumar-led NDA government for its efforts in steering Bihar toward progress. He argued that electing the opposition would jeopardize this hard-earned momentum and return the state to a period of instability and underdevelopment, a situation he described as a “jungle raj.”

The Prime Minister’s speech underscores the intensifying political battle in Bihar as the state gears up for upcoming elections. His direct challenge to the RJD and Congress is likely to set the tone for the campaign ahead, focusing heavily on the contrasting visions for Bihar’s future.
