"Nitish Kumar, PM Modi liberated Bihar from jungle raj": Amit Shah in Sitamarhi

Sitamarhi (Bihar) [India], November 3 (ANI): Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday lauded the leadership of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying that their partnership had liberated Bihar from "jungle raj" and ended dynasty rule.
He further accused the RJD's Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family, and the Congress leadership, of attempting to install their progeny in power.
Addressing a public rally in Sitamarhi, Shah said, "The pair of Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi has liberated Bihar from 'jungle raj'. We ended the dynasty rule. Lalu ji and Rabri ji want to make their son the CM of Bihar. Sonia Gandhi wants to make her son the PM of the country. But I am here to tell Lalu-Rabri and Sonia ji that neither Lalu ji's son would become the CM nor will Sonia ji's son become the PM. Because Bihar CM is held by Nitish ji and Narendra Modi ji is in power in Delhi (Centre)."
Repeating his earlier barbs, the Home Minister attacked Congress leader Rahul Gandhi over his recent 'Voter Adhikar Yatra', calling it a 'ghuspaithia bachao yatra'.

"Rahul Gandhi was here recently. He took out a 'ghuspaithia bachao yatra'. Riga is located near the border; it is near Nepal. Tell me, should Bangladeshi infiltrators not be removed from Bihar's voter list? These infiltrators take up the share of foodgrains for the poor, they snatch away jobs from the youth and those who have come here from Bangladesh have no right to vote here and elect the CM of Bihar," Shah stated.
The Union Home Minister further claimed for the first time that the entire state of Bihar is going to vote till 5 pm because now Bihar is naxal-free.
"Congress was in power at the Centre. Several districts of Bihar were naxal-affected. Voting used to conclude at 3 pm. Now, for the first time, the entire Bihar is going to vote till 5 pm because now Bihar is naxal-free," he said.
Polling for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly is scheduled to take place in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with the counting set for November 14. (ANI)
