Siwan: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Friday launched a scathing attack on the RJD for fielding late Shahabuddin's son, a convicted criminal, in the Bihar polls, saying "even if 100 Shahabuddins come, no one can do you any harm", while addressing a rally in Bihar's Siwan.
The RJD has fielded Shahabuddin's son, Osama Shahab, from the Raghunathpur assembly constituency of Siwan for the upcoming polls.
The top BJP leader called the people of Siwan "brave" who never bowed down before the Shahabuddin.
"... For 20 years, A-category history sheeter Shahabuddin, with around 75 cases against him, two jail terms, triple murders, an attack on an SP... he had bathed the sons of a business owner in acid till their skins came off. The brave people of Siwan never surrendered before Shahabuddin... Shahabuddin's son has been given a ticket by Lalu Prasad Yadav himself from Raghunathpur... Now, under the rule of Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi, even if a 100 Shahabuddin come, no one can do you any harm..."
Earlier in the day, criticising the RJD's 'jungle-raj' in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government transformed the "jungle raj" into "good governance" and now the time has come to transform "good governance" into "prosperity" across Bihar.
Addressing the public rally in Begusarai, PM Modi said, "We transformed 'jungle raj' into good governance. Now the time has come to transform good governance into prosperity. I have come to seek your blessings for Bihar's prosperity... It was the month of October 2005, when you freed Bihar from jungle raj and chose good governance... You must understand the power of your vote, and your vote will determine Bihar's prosperity."
Polling for the Bihar elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14.
