New Delhi, Oct 30 (NationPress) Union Home Minister Amit Shah and BJP National President Jagat Prakash Nadda are set to speak at numerous political rallies throughout Bihar on Thursday as the state prepares for the highly anticipated Assembly elections.
The Bihar Assembly elections will occur in two stages — on November 6 and 11, with the vote counting planned for November 14. With the Election Commission's declaration, the Model Code of Conduct has been activated throughout the state.
Voting will happen in 121 constituencies during the first phase and 122 constituencies in the second phase, indicating a fierce political rivalry between the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and the Mahagathbandhan.
As part of the BJP's dynamic campaign, Amit Shah will address various public meetings in Lakhisarai, Munger, Nalanda, and Patna, while JP Nadda will head rallies in Begusarai and Nalanda, invigorating party members and reaching out to voters ahead of the elections.
The political climate in Bihar has already heated up. On Wednesday, Amit Shah launched a pointed criticism at Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of disrespecting not only Prime Minister Narendra Modi but also the revered deity “Chhathi Maiyya” and her followers.
“Rahul Gandhi has not just insulted PM Modi but also Chhathi Maiyya and her devotees. He will face the repercussions of this in the Bihar elections,” Shah stated in an interview with a news channel.
Shah's comments were a response to Gandhi's controversial statements during a recent rally, where he suggested that “PM Modi would dance on stage if it meant securing votes.”
In reaction, Shah remarked that Gandhi's comments displayed a continuous pattern of disrespect.
“Rahul has spoken derogatorily about PM Modi and even insulted his mother. But every time he lowers the standards of politics, the lotus blooms brighter from that mud,” Shah added, referencing the BJP's election symbol with poetic flair.
In the meantime, the BJP has recently revealed its lineup of 40 star campaigners for the Bihar Assembly elections on November 6 and 11. This list features Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari, and several notable leaders such as Yogi Adityanath, Shivraj Singh Chouhan, Himanta Biswa Sarma, Mohan Yadav, and Smriti Irani.
Adding a local flair, popular Bhojpuri film stars — Pawan Singh, Dinesh Lal Yadav ‘Nirahua’, Manoj Tiwari, and Ravi Kishan — are also part of the campaigners to emphasize the BJP’s strategy to resonate with Bihar’s cultural roots.
