Union Home Minister Amit Shah delivered a scathing attack on the Congress-RJD alliance at a Bihar rally, saying Pakistani-backed terrorists were treated with biryani when they were in power, while the Modi government resolved to give a befitting response to such activities through Operation Sindoor.
Addressing a political rally in Siwan, Shah said, “Brothers and sisters, just recently in Poonch, Pakistan-backed terrorists carried out an attack. When the Congress and Sonia-Lalu governments were in power, terrorists were being treated with biryani. But this time, under Modi’s government, we conducted surgical strikes, air strikes, and Operation Sindoor, entering Pakistan’s territory to eliminate terrorists.”
The Home Minister claimed Bihar will celebrate ‘real Diwali’ on November 14, when the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government will come back to power, and said Tejashwi Yadav will face a humiliating defeat in the upcoming elections.
जिस बिहार को राजद ने क्राइम का शेल्टर बनाया था, मोदी जी और नीतीश जी के नेतृत्व में NDA सरकार उसे डेवलपमेंट का हब बना रही है। सिवान जनसभा से लाइव…. https://t.co/OuKM9jhVkc— Amit Shah (@AmitShah) October 24, 2025
“For twenty long years, this land of Siwan endured the jungle raj of Lalu and Rabri. Siwan witnessed atrocities, oppression, and countless murders under that regime. Even though Lalu and Rabri rose to power, the people of Siwan never bowed down. It was Siwan that finally put an end to their jungle raj,” he said.
Shah credited Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for ending Lalu Yadav’s jungle raj. He also mocked the Mahagathbandhan alliance, saying it was riddled with seat-sharing disputes and had failed to finalise the seats even after the deadline for filing nominations had passed.
“Rahul Gandhi says that infiltrators should be allowed to live in Siwan. I promise you all that if you vote for NDA, we will remove each and every infiltrator from the country,” he further said, adding that the Election Commission has already taken stern action against infiltrators.
He also criticised Lalu Yadav for giving a ticket to the son of gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin, saying Bihar had suffered a lot because of his dangerous ideology. “For 20 years, A-category history sheeter Shahabuddin had around 75 cases against him, including two jail terms, triple murders, and an attack on an SP. He poured acid on the sons of a business owner. However, the brave people of Siwan never surrendered before Shahabuddin.”
“Shahabuddin’s son has been given a ticket by Lalu Prasad Yadav himself from Raghunathpur… Now, under the rule of Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi, even if a hundred Shahabuddin come, no one can do you any harm…”
