Patna (Bihar) [India], October 25 (ANI): Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Choudhary on Saturday claimed that the people of Bihar consider RJD Chief Lalu Yadav's family as "villains".
Speaking to the reporters, Chaudhary said, "People of Bihar know who is the hero and who is the villain. People consider Lalu Yadav's family as villains who have plundered Bihar, worsened its economic condition, and destroyed its prosperity..."
Earlier in the day, Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged the Bihar voters to elect a government committed to development and law and order, warning against the return of "jungle raj" if the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan comes to power.
Addressing an election rally in Khagaria, Shah said that it was the NDA government that worked to eradicate Naxalism from Bihar.
"We have worked to free Bihar from Naxalism. This election is the one that will decide whether to bring back jungle raj to Bihar or the rule of development. Do you want jungle raj? If the Lalu's Rabri government comes to power, jungle raj will also come with it. If the NDA government is formed, a developed Bihar will be recognised throughout India. Use your vote wisely," Shah said during a rally.
"The NDA alliance comprises five Pandavas (BJP, JD(U), LJP (RV), HAM(S), and RLM). Bless it and make it victorious," he added.
The voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, while the results will be declared on November 14.
The main contest is between the ruling Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led NDA and the RJD-led opposition alliance 'Mahagathbandhan.'
NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM).
Mahagathbandhan, led by Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD, includes Congress, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).
