People of Bihar have made up their mind to make NDA govt: Union Minister Nityanand Rai

Union Minister Nityanand Rai claims Bihar voters prefer NDA over RJD's "jungle raj," citing development under Nitish Kumar and PM Modi.

"Bihar do not want the party that establishes family-based jungle raj – Nityanand Rai"

Nalanda, May 24

Union Minister of State for Home, Nityanand Rai on Saturday said that the people of Bihar have already made up their mind to make the NDA government under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The state faces assembly elections later in the year.

Rai also took aim at the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), stating that Bihar do not want the party that establishes family-based "jungle raj"

Speaking to reporters, Rai said, "Considering the development and future of their children, the people of Bihar have already made up their minds to make the NDA government under the leadership of Nitish Kumar... Lalu Yadav has been saying this for the last 15 years that they will form the government this time. Not only did they lose the state election, but also the NDA won 30 seats in the Lok Sabha elections... Bihar do not want the party that establishes family-based 'jungle raj.'"

The Union MoS also participated in the Tiranga Yatra organised in Nalanda district of Bihar.

Earlier on May 22, Union Minister Giriraj Singh highlighted that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Bihar is on a path to the development as many big projects have been planned under the double-engine government, and expressing confidence in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) retaining power in the state.

"Many big projects have come to Bihar due to the double-engine government. The Prime Minister's resolve is the development of Bihar, and in the coming days, the duo of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar will take Bihar to new heights," Singh told ANI.

The Union Minister emphasised PM Modi's commitment to the development of the Purvanchal region, saying that Bihar serves as a key gateway to its progress.

"There is a double-engine government in Bihar. The Prime Minister believes India cannot develop without the development of Purvanchal, and Bihar is the gateway to Purvanchal," he said.

Singh further hit out at RJD chief and former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, claiming that people are still uneasy when they think about RJD's chief returning as CM, saying that people do not want to go back to the "dark times."

"20 years ago, the situation created by Lalu Prasad ji in Bihar still makes people uneasy thinking about it, that if his rule comes back, what will happen? We say that the people of Bihar do not want to go back to the dark times. Today, Bihar has developed a lot in the infrastructure sector, whether it is railways, highways, so in the future, under the leadership of PM Modi and Nitish Kumar, an NDA government will be formed," he told reporters.

Bihar is expected to have its assembly elections later in the year. However, the Election Commission has not announced the dates as of yet.

Nitish Kumar has indeed brought stability to Bihar after the chaotic RJD years. Roads are better, electricity situation improved. But I hope NDA focuses more on job creation now - that's what we youth really need! 🤞

As a Bihari woman, I remember how unsafe it was during RJD rule. Current government has at least made public spaces safer for us. But ministers should stop using "jungle raj" rhetoric - focus on positive work instead of negative campaigning.

Double-engine sarkar sounds good in speeches but where are the jobs? I completed engineering 2 years back and still unemployed. Politicians keep talking about big projects but common people need immediate employment solutions.

My village finally got proper roads and electricity after 70 years! Whatever the politics, this development is visible. But education quality needs urgent attention - government schools still in bad shape. Hope next term focuses on this.

Why is everyone forgetting the liquor ban failure? It created more problems than it solved. Need practical policies, not just slogans. Bihar deserves better than choosing between "jungle raj" and "double engine".

As someone who left Bihar for job, I wish to return but opportunities are still limited. Infrastructure is improving but where are the industries? Only politics won't develop Bihar - need real economic growth! 💼
