In a blistering election campaign address in Darbhanga, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh launched a fierce offensive against the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), accusing the opposition party of systematically damaging Bihar's global reputation while positioning the BJP as the state's sole development-focused alternative.
Scathing Attack on RJD's Legacy
Singh didn't mince words during his rally, asserting that "RJD has defamed Bihar across the world" through its governance approach. The Defence Minister painted a stark contrast between what he described as the BJP's progressive vision and RJD's alleged regressive politics that had hampered Bihar's growth trajectory.
Development vs Dynasty Politics
The senior BJP leader emphasized that his party's campaign for the crucial 2025 Bihar Assembly elections would revolve around development, good governance, and national security. He positioned the BJP as the only political force capable of rescuing Bihar from what he termed as "the clutches of family-dominated politics" that had prioritized personal interests over public welfare.
Key Rally Highlights:
- Strong condemnation of RJD's governance record in Bihar
- Emphasis on BJP's development-oriented agenda for 2025 polls
- Focus on national security and good governance as key election planks
- Appeal to voters to reject "dynastic politics" in favor of progress
Strategic Darbhanga Visit
The choice of Darbhanga for this significant political address underscores the region's importance in the BJP's electoral strategy for the 2025 state elections. As one of North Bihar's key political centers, the rally signals the party's intensified campaign efforts in the region nearly a year before the scheduled polls.
Political analysts suggest that Singh's strong remarks indicate the BJP's intention to make governance and development the central themes of their Bihar campaign, directly challenging the opposition on their home turf while capitalizing on the Defence Minister's national stature and credibility.
