Gopalganj/Patna Mar 30 (UNI) Union Home Minister and senior BJP leader Amit Shah on Sunday asked people of Bihar not to allow the return of "Jungle Raj " in the state and vote for the formation of NDA government again in the next assembly elections to be held in October-November this year.
Shah, while addressing a rally organised by his party here, said that people of Bihar had not forgotten the " Jungle Raj " of the RJD regime in the state for a long 15 years since 1990. He asked them not to allow the return of "Jungle Raj " and to vote for the formation of an NDA government in the next assembly elections to be held in Bihar in October-November.
" RJD regime was marred by a series of scams including flood relief scam, coaltar scam and fodder scam ", the BJP leader said, adding that incidents of loot, kidnapping, murder and crimes were the order of the day during the RJD regime, he pointed out. RJD chief Lalu Prasad had no concern for the people of Bihar, and he remained engaged only in settling his family members, including wife, sons, and daughters, he added.
" Both sons of Lalu were Ministers in Bihar and now they are MLAs, wife Rabri Devi was Chief Minister of Bihar, a daughter is Rajya Sabha MP while another daughter had contested Lok Sabha elections last year", Shah said adding that Lalu himself was Minister in Sonia- Manmohan government but did nothing for Bihar. Only 2.80 lakh crores was given by the Centre to Bihar when Lalu was Minister in Sonia-Manmohan Singh government, which was in power for ten years, he pointed out. When Prime Minister Narendra Modi was voted to power in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, his government had given Rs 9.23 lakh crores to Bihar in ten years since
2014, he stated.
The BJP leader said that the RJD regime in Bihar was also infamous for incidents of booth capturing by its leaders. Complete "Jungle Raj" had prevailed as there was no freedom for the people to cast their votes freely and fearlessly, he added.
Shah said that Lalu used to say, "What is IT YT " making a mockery of changes taking place in science and technology. Lalu also used to ridicule, whether computers could give milk, he recalled
BJP leader, while earlier addressing a function organised by the cooperative department in Patna to launch several government schemes, had said, " During the RJD regime, all sugar mills were closed down due to mismanagement and corruption ". He further said that the closed sugar mill was reopened and it started functioning properly after intervention and support from the Narendra Modi government. If NDA was voted to power again after the next Bihar Assembly elections, the Narendra Modi government would ensure the opening of many other sugar mills in the state, he added.
Shah said that Bihar was number one in the production of mushrooms, Makhana, and Litchi. Bihar stood second in the cultivation of Maize, which would get a further boost with fresh assistance from the Centre, he stressed.
The BJP leader said that Bihar had share of more than 30 percent in sugar production of the country which got reduced to less than 6 percent due to corruption and mismanagement of the RJD regime. The Narendra Modi government was providing all assistance to Bihar to tap its vast agriculture potential and increase the agro produce, benefiting farmers of the state, he added.
