'34 massacres took place in between 1990-2005': HM Amit Shah lambasts RJD

Union Home Minister Amit Shah alleges RJD oversaw 34 massacres between 1990-2005, contrasting NDA's development agenda with RJD's 'jungle raj' in Bihar election rally.

"This is not an election to elect an MLA or minister, but an election to choose between good governance under Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, or the Jungle Raj of the Grand Alliance - Amit Shah"

Patna, Nov 1

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday lambasted the RJD leadership for the alleged “jungle raj”, accusing them of 34 bloody massacres between 1990 and 2005 during their tenure.

Addressing a virtual rally for NDA candidates in Gopalganj, Shah cited 34 massacres that took place during that period, including Bara, Senari, Bathani Tola, Laxmanpur-Bathe, Shankar Bigha and Miapur.

“This is not an election to elect an MLA or minister, but an election to choose between good governance under Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, or the Jungle Raj of the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan),” Shah said.

The Home Minister said that this election will decide who will control Bihar, those who oversaw years of jungle raj, or the PM Modi-Nitish Kumar combine that has put Bihar on the path of development.

Shah was scheduled to attend the rally in person but said he was unable to fly due to bad weather and addressed the virtual rally from Patna.

“I apologise to the people of Gopalganj who turned out in large numbers. We did not get permission to take off due to weather conditions,” he said, adding that Gopalganj has never elected an RJD MP or MLA since 2002 and expressing confidence that the district would maintain this record.

Shah also highlighted the NDA manifesto and repeated two promises targeting women and farmers.

He said the government had already transferred Rs 10,000 to each of 1.41 crore Jeevika Didis and promised that after government formation, they would be given an additional Rs 2 lakh each.

For farmers, he claimed that the annual PM-Kisan support would be increased from Rs 6,000 to Rs 9,000.

Calling these not small commitments, Shah said, “Rs 9,000 a year to 87 lakh farmers and Rs 2.10 lakh each to 1.41 crore Jeevika Didis - this is not a small thing.”

He further claimed the Narendra Modi government had decided to reopen all sugar mills of Bihar, saying several had already restarted, including three in Gopalganj and one rice mill, while Riga Sugar Mill in Sitamarhi was functioning.

Shah also announced new infrastructure commitments, including an expressway from Dumariaghat (Gopalganj) to Patna and the redevelopment of Thave railway station.

The financial support for Jeevika Didis and farmers is really impressive. ₹2 lakh additional support for women self-help groups can transform rural economy. This is what real empowerment looks like!

While development promises are good, I wish political speeches focused more on current issues rather than digging up 20-year-old incidents. Bihar needs forward-looking politics, not just reminders of past failures.

Reopening sugar mills is crucial for Bihar's agricultural economy. This will create jobs and help sugarcane farmers get better prices. Good to see concrete economic plans rather than just rhetoric.

Expressway from Dumariaghat to Patna will be a game-changer for connectivity in Bihar. Infrastructure development is exactly what our state needs to attract investments and create opportunities. 👍

As someone who lived through those difficult times, I appreciate that Shah ji is reminding people why we should never go back to that era. Law and order has improved significantly under current government.
