Nitish-Lalu alliance is taking Bihar back to jungle raj: Amit Shah

Union Home Minister Amit Shah criticized the alliance between RJD chief Lalu Prasad and Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, calling it unstable and detrimental to Bihar's progress. Shah accused the duo of taking the state back to the days of "jungle raj" when RJD ruled. He also mentioned Lalu's active role in the opposition bloc against PM Narendra Modi's NDA and dismissed speculation of Nitish returning to the NDA fold. Shah urged the people of Bihar to ensure Modi's third term as PM in 2024 by supporting the NDA. He also criticized the opposition bloc for insulting Hindu festivals and rebranded themselves after the tainted reputation of the UPA.
