Addressing a public rally in Saran, Bihar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah attacked the Opposition saying, “Nitish Kumar has freed Bihar from ‘jungle raj’ in past 20 years.”
Amit Shah took a swipe at the opposition RJD for giving a ticket to late gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin’s son, Osama Shahab, asking how it can ensure the security of the people of Bihar if it fields such candidates.
“People of Bihar are celebrating four Diwalis this year — on the day of Diwali, on the day when the NDA government transferred Rs 10,000 into the accounts of ‘Jeevika Didis’, on the day when GST was reduced, and on November 14, when the results of the elections will be announced,” he said.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is on a three-day visit to poll-bound Bihar, met Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Friday. BJP sources said it was a courtesy meeting between Shah and Kumar, also the JD(U) supremo.
The first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections will take place on November 6, with the second phase of voting on November 11. More than 7.4 crore electors of the state will cast their votes. The counting of votes will take place on November 14.
