People have rejected Lalu's jungle raj rule: Eknath Shinde as NDA set for landslide victory in Bihar polls

Maharashtra Deputy CM Eknath Shinde declares NDA's Bihar victory signals public rejection of Lalu Yadav's "jungle raj" and embrace of development politics.

"The people have rejected Lalu's jungle raj rule - Eknath Shinde"

Thane, November 14

Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Friday said that the rule of development will continue in Bihar, as the National Democratic Alliance is poised for a sweeping victory in the state's Assembly election.

"On the NDA crossing the majority mark in Bihar, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde says, "...I congratulate our beloved sisters for the splendid work they have done. The rule of development will continue; the people have rejected Lalu's jungle raj rule," Shinde told reporters.

"I congratulate Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Modi. The public, our beloved sisters, have voted in large numbers. People want the rule of development, not jungle raj," he added.

The NDA is heading towards setting a new milestone in the 2025 Bihar elections, as it has crossed the 200-mark in the latest trends.

The NDA, which secured 206 seats in the 2014 elections, is once again poised to reach the same mark, currently leading with 203 seats, thanks to unexpected performances by both the BJP and JD(U).

The return of a confident, coordinated BJP-JD(U) alliance has significantly reshaped the battlefield this time. With Prime Minister Modi standing firmly beside Nitish Kumar throughout the campaign, the coalition projected a united and reinvigorated front, emphasising welfare delivery, infrastructure expansion, social schemes, and administrative stability.

The mix of PM Modi's national appeal and Bihar CM's extensive grassroots presence has created a formidable electoral force, one that appears poised to translate its political momentum into a landslide victory in Bihar. As Bihar reached the verdict stage, the PM Modi-Nitish partnership has emerged as the defining factor of the assembly election.

It's worth noting that Bihar recorded a historic 67.13% voter turnout, the highest since 1951, with women voters outpacing men (71.6% vs 62.8%).

As someone from Bihar, I'm relieved to see this result. The last few years of stable governance under NDA have brought visible improvements in roads and electricity. Hope this continues!

While development is important, I wish politicians would focus more on policy discussions rather than using terms like "jungle raj." Let's maintain respectful political discourse.

The Modi-Nitish combination is unbeatable! Their focus on women's welfare schemes has really connected with voters. The 71.6% women turnout speaks volumes about their trust in this government.

My relatives in Patna say the infrastructure development in the last 5 years has been remarkable. Better roads, more schools, and improved healthcare facilities. This victory is well-deserved!

Interesting to see how coalition politics works in Indian states. The BJP-JD(U) coordination seems to have paid off handsomely. The 67% voter turnout shows strong democratic participation.
