In a powerful address that resonated through the political landscape of Bihar, Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared that the state has undergone a remarkable transformation under the NDA government. Speaking at a rally in Siwan—a region once synonymous with the terror of former MP Shahabuddin—Shah asserted that "not even 100 Shahabuddins can scare Bihar today."
A New Era for Bihar
The Home Minister contrasted the current situation with the "jungle raj" that previously plagued the state. "There was a time when Siwan's name would send shivers down people's spines," Shah recalled, referring to the era when Shahabuddin's influence dominated the region.
Shah emphasized that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, Bihar has been liberated from the grip of criminal elements and is now progressing rapidly toward development and security.
Political Significance of Siwan Rally
The choice of Siwan as the venue for this declaration carries deep symbolic weight. The town was once considered the stronghold of Shahabuddin, whose criminal activities had become emblematic of the lawlessness that characterized certain parts of Bihar.
By delivering this message in Shahabuddin's former territory, Shah sent a clear signal about the changed political and security environment in the state.
Development Agenda Takes Center Stage
Beyond the strong rhetoric against crime, Shah outlined the central government's development initiatives in Bihar, highlighting:
- Infrastructure projects worth thousands of crores
- Improved law and order situation
- Economic opportunities for youth
- Agricultural support for farmers
The Home Minister's speech marked a significant moment in the ongoing political narrative, positioning the NDA as the force that has brought safety and progress to a state once paralyzed by fear.
