During Bihar’s 2024 assembly elections, three top BJP leaders held separate rallies in the state’s key towns. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah, and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh all accused the RJD‑led Grand Alliance and the Congress of corruption, misrule, and trouble‑making.
Modi rips into the 1990s “misrule”
At an Araria rally, Modi handed out what he called a “report card” for 1990‑2005 and slammed the previous governments for doing nothing. “No expressways,” he said. “No bridges over the Kosi.” He added that no tourist circuit, sports complex, medical college, IIT, or IIM was built. “In the name of governance you were only looted,” Modi reminded the crowd.
Modi praised the NDA’s “double‑engine government” for giving Bihar new institutions: IIT Patna, IIM Bodh Gaya, AIIMS Patna, and a campus in Darbhanga. He warned that the 1990s “guns, cruelty, bitterness, corruption, and misgovernance” still shape voters’ fears. “The people, especially women, will not accept a return to jungle raj,” he said.
Stinging the opposition over riots and migration
Later in Bhagalpur, Modi linked the RJD to caste riots and the Congress to communal riots. He said the RJD “plunged Bihar into caste riots” and that the Congress “instigated communal riots.” He accused both parties of inflaming migration: “Those who practice the politics of destruction have made Bihar’s youth leave the state for work.” Modi promised that the NDA would bring jobs back home.
Home Minister accuses Lalu and Rahul of scams
In Ramnagar, West Champaran, Amit Shah attacked Lalu Prasad Yadav with a list of scams – fodder, land‑for‑jobs, and flood relief kickbacks. Shah criticized Rahul Gandhi’s “Save the infiltrators” march, saying infiltrators steal jobs and rations and hurt security. “BJP will get rid of every infiltrator in India,” Shah declared. He promised the NDA would re‑open shut sugar mills and win West Champaran. “Counting on November 14 will wipe out the RJD‑Congress alliance,” he added.
Defence Minister slams RJD violence
At a rally in Patahi, East Champaran, Rajnath Singh warned that the RJD’s culture is one of violence. He said the state once lived under fear, with goons ganging up on citizens. “Bihar does not want that era again,” Singh said, praising Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for a clean record and bemoaning the corruption charges against other leaders. Singh cited improved perception, infrastructure, and Swachh Bharat outcomes under the NDA.
Election timeline
Bihar’s assembly elections run in two phases: the first on November 6 (already finished) and the second on November 11. All major parties are campaigning hard for the upcoming vote.
