Overview
- At a Darbhanga rally, Shah accused RJD and Congress of dynasty politics, saying Lalu Prasad wants Tejashwi Yadav as Chief Minister and Sonia Gandhi wants Rahul Gandhi as Prime Minister, declaring the posts “not vacant.”
- He branded the Mahagathbandhan a “thug bandhan,” linked Lalu to fodder, bitumen and land‑for‑jobs scams, and alleged ₹12 lakh crore in Congress corruption.
- He questioned whether an RJD-led government would keep members of the banned Popular Front of India jailed, casting the issue as a test of law and order.
- Defending the NDA record, he cited Maithili’s official-language status, free rations to 8.52 crore people, 125 units of free power and a Makhana Board.
- He paired these attacks with local pledges, touting Darbhanga’s airport and an AIIMS under construction, promising a Metro rail project and proposing a Sita temple network across Mithila, as he warned Rahul Gandhi would “pay a price” for remarks about PM Modi.
