Begusarai, Bihar - Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the INDIA bloc in Bihar on Wednesday, accusing Congress leader Sonia Gandhi and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav of promoting dynastic politics and corruption. Addressing a rally in Begusarai, Shah asserted that the ambitions of both leaders to see their sons, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav, respectively, in top positions would be thwarted because the positions of Prime Minister and Chief Minister are currently occupied.

"Lalu ji wants to make his son Tejashwi the Chief Minister, and Sonia Gandhi wants her son Rahul to become the Prime Minister," Shah stated. "But both posts are not vacant. Bihar has Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister, and Narendra Modi is serving as the Prime Minister". He then added, "Bihar mein na CM pad khali hai, Delhi mein PM pad khali hai. Aapke beto ka number nahi lagne wala hai," which translates to "There is no CM seat vacant in Bihar, nor is there a PM seat vacant in Delhi. Your sons will not get a chance".

Shah didn't hold back in his criticism of the RJD's past governance in Bihar. He reminded the crowd of the "jungle raj" under Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi's rule, alleging that it was a time marked by heinous crimes, murder, ransom, extortion, and abduction. He cautioned voters against a repeat of that era, claiming that an alliance between Tejashwi and Rahul would bring back the same lawlessness after 20 years. "People of Bihar, be careful; one mistake will push Bihar back by 20 years," he warned. He urged them to make the right decision to build a "Viksit Bihar" (Developed Bihar) under the leadership of Prime Minister Modi.

In addition to attacking the INDIA bloc, Shah highlighted the BJP's commitment to the region, mentioning the official status given to Maithili language by the NDA government, the translation of the Constitution into the language, and the construction of a Rs 500-crore center for conserving manuscripts in the region. He also accused the INDIA bloc of attempting to steal the title of 'Jannayak' from the former Chief Minister Karpoori Thakur.

The political atmosphere in Bihar is heating up as the assembly elections approach. Top leaders from both the NDA and the INDIA bloc are actively campaigning across the state. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, Rahul Gandhi, and BJP president JP Nadda are scheduled to hold several rallies in key constituencies.
