Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, intensifying the battle for Bihar, held three power-packed rallies on Wednesday, launching a fierce attack on the RJD–Congress alliance.
His first rally was in Raghunathpur in support of NDA candidate Vikas Kumar Singh and in Darauli for Vishnudev Paswan. The second was in Shahpur for BJP candidate Rakesh Ranjan Ojha, followed by a third in Buxar, Dumraon, and Brahmapur for NDA candidates — former IPS officer Anand Mishra, Rahul Singh, and Hulas Pandey.
Appealing to the people to keep Bihar on the path of development and good governance, CM Yogi urged them not to let the state slip back into jungle raj. Calling the RJD–Congress alliance a factory of crime and a barrier to development, CM Yogi described Bihar as the land of knowledge, devotion, power, peace, and revolution.
Speaking in Raghunathpur, he said, “The RJD candidate fielded from here is infamous not only in Bihar but across the country and even abroad for his family’s criminal background.”
CM Yogi added, “In Uttar Pradesh, we have adopted a policy of zero tolerance toward crime and criminals — the same should now be implemented in Bihar.” Referring to Siwan’s past, he said, “There was a time when acid was poured on Chand Babu’s son. Criminals like these should never rise again.”
Highlighting the government’s welfare model, Yogi said, “Ayodhya has become the finest city. Seizing the property of criminals and mafias to build homes for the poor is the hallmark of the double-engine government. We not only ran bulldozers but also handed house keys to the poor.”
Addressing a rally in Shahpur in support of BJP candidate Rakesh Ranjan Ojha, Yogi targeted Congress and RJD, saying, “Those who eat fodder meant for animals also swallow the rights of humans.” He added, “Under PM Modi’s leadership, 25 crore people have risen above poverty and are moving toward self-reliance.”
Praising Bihar’s youth, he said, “There is no migration now; engineers from Bihar are driving the state’s growth.” He recalled, “Before 2005, Bihar had fallen into chaos, hooliganism, and mafia rule. But when Bihar chose the NDA under Nitish Kumar, the countdown for mafias began. In 20 years of tireless effort, the Nitish government helped the state recover.”
Attacking the opposition on faith, Yogi said, “Congress denied the existence of Lord Ram, RJD opposed the temple, and SP fired bullets at Ram devotees. We used to say then also — Goli chalao ya danda, Ram Lalla hum ayenge, aur mandir wahi banayenge.”
In Buxar, addressing a joint rally for NDA candidates Anand Mishra, Rahul Singh, and Hulas Pandey, CM Yogi thundered, “When they wanted to loot, they first extinguished the lantern. These parties looted under its darkness and now want to push Bihar back there again.”
Yogi concluded, “Uttar Pradesh has set out on the path of Ram Rajya; now it’s Bihar’s turn. Those who rob the poor of their rights or insult women will find their way to Yamraj’s door. UP has shown the way — now Bihar must follow.”
