Union Home Minister Amit Shah, addressing a massive rally in Buxar, Bihar, on Thursday, launched a sharp attack on the Congress-RJD Mahagathbandhan, claiming there is an ongoing tussle within the alliance over seat-sharing.
“In Congress, RJD, and their allied parties, there is a tussle going on over seats,” Shah said, contrasting it with the unity within the NDA.
Highlighting the NDA’s coordinated campaign, Shah said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has already held two rallies in Bihar.
While the alliance partners including Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Upendra Kushwaha have all joined forces “to take Bihar forward.”
Praising Nitish Kumar’s leadership, Shah said, “Nitish ji has tried for 20 years to make Bihar stand on its own two feet, and for the last 10 years, Narendra Modi ji has made Bihar stand on its own two feet.”
He further declared, “On the 14th, at 1 PM, Lalu Yadav’s son’s game is going to be up, and once again under PM Modi’s leadership, an NDA government will be formed here.”
His remarks also signaled that the NDA is contesting the election under Nitish Kumar’s supervision, hinting at him as the coalition’s chief ministerial face.
