‘Bihar Was Freed from Jungle Raj in October 2005’ News24 –


Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday (October 24, 2025) took a jibe at the political opponents ahead of the Bihar assembly elections 2025. While addressing a public gathering in Samastipur district, PM Modi said, “Bihar was freed from the ‘Jungle Raj’ in October 2005. Under Nitish Kumar’s leadership, the NDA government was formed in the state. During that time, the Congress-RJD alliance was in power at the Center for 10 years.”

During his speech, PM Modi mentioned that the Congress-RJD government left no stone unturned to create obstacles in Nitish Kumar’s path and trouble the Bihari people. “The RJD used to take revenge on the people of Bihar for voting for Nitish Kumar. They also used to threaten the Congress, saying they would withdraw support from the government if it agreed to anything that Nitish Kumar or the NDA-BJP wanted,” the Prime Minister said.

Meanwhile, PM Modi expressed confidence in the National Democratic Alliance’s record-breaking victory in the upcoming Bihar elections. “This time, under the leadership of Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, NDA will break all its previous records of victory. Bihar will give NDA its biggest ever mandate,” he said.

On people enjoying the perks of the ‘GST Bachat Utsav’, the Prime Minister said, ‘From tomorrow, the grand festival of Chhath Puja will begin. I thank you all for coming here in large numbers.’ Meanwhile, he proclaimed loudly, “Nayi Raftar se chalega Bihar jab phir aayegi NDA sarkar.”

At the Samastipur Rally, PM Narendra Modi accused the RJD and Congress of being involved in scams and theft cases. He alleged that the alliance tried to usurp Karpoori Thakur’s legacy.

“Inspired by the leader of the people, Karpoori Thakur, we are transforming good governance into prosperity. But on the other hand, you know better than me what the RJD and Congress are saying and doing…These people are out on bail in scams worth thousands of crores. Those who are out on bail are out on bail in theft cases. Now their habit of stealing is such that they are engaged in stealing the title of Karpoori Thakur. The people of Bihar will never tolerate this insult to the leader of the people, Karpoori Thakur. They will never tolerate it,” PM Modi said.
