Prime Minister Narendra Modi unleashed a powerful political offensive in Bihar on Thursday, targeting the opposition RJD and Congress in back-to-back election rallies that set the stage for an intense electoral battle.
Double Barrelled Attack in Key Constituencies
Addressing massive crowds in both Samastipur and Begusarai, the Prime Minister didn't hold back in his criticism of what he called the "corruption and misrule" of previous regimes. The strategic locations chosen for these rallies highlight the BJP's focus on crucial seats that could determine Bihar's political future.
Historical Parallels and Sharp Rebuke
In one of his most striking arguments, PM Modi invoked the memory of former Congress leader Sitaram Kesri, drawing parallels between past and present political scenarios. "The same old forces that have always put family first are now trying to mislead the people of Bihar," he declared, amid roaring applause from supporters.
Security and Development Focus
The Prime Minister also highlighted his government's commitment to national security, specifically mentioning the Bhairav Commando Battalions. This strategic move connected local electoral politics with broader national security concerns, appealing to both development and security-conscious voters.
International Context and Domestic Politics
Interestingly, PM Modi referenced the recent US government shutdown, using it as an example to contrast India's political stability under his leadership. "While other nations face political uncertainty, India is marching steadily toward development," he asserted, positioning himself as the architect of India's global rise.
The rallies demonstrated the BJP's comprehensive campaign strategy, blending historical references, development promises, and national security themes to create a compelling narrative for Bihar's voters.
