Bihar Election 2025 LIVE Updates: Why ‘jungle raj’ casts a long shadow over the RJD

When the RJD lost power in Bihar in 2005, Tejashwi Yadav, the current Chief Minister face of the Opposition, was barely 16 years old. Yet, over every election Tejashwi fights, the shadow of the RJD’s ‘jungle raj’ looms large. This time too, everyone from Prime Minister Narendra Modi to Home Minister Amit Shah has used ‘jungle raj’ to attack the RJD.

Many young people voting in these polls were not even born when the RJD was in power. Yet, if NDA leaders are to be believed, tales of the dreaded ‘jungle raj’ are being passed down to the new generation almost like folklore, of misrule and lawlessness, of Bihar as the ‘badland’. Read

At first Prez's birthplace in Bihar, Yogi rakes up 'insult' of Rajendra Prasad by Congress PM Nehru

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday charged Congress' Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru with having “insulted” Rajendra Prasad, the country's first President, by asking him not to attend the inauguration of a renovated Somnath temple.

The senior BJP leader made the remark while addressing an election rally in Siwan district of Bihar, which was the birthplace of Prasad.

“The Congress has been rejected by the people of Bihar because it has insulted stalwarts like Sardar Vallabh Bhai Patel, Babasaheb Ambedkar, Rajendra Prasad and Karpoori Thakur. Even the party's own former president Sitaram Kesri, who belonged to this state, was humiliated," Adityanath alleged.

He also claimed that when "Rajendra babu decided to attend the inauguration ceremony of the Somnath temple in Gujarat, Congress' Prime Minister Nehru told him that he must not go there".

"But for Rajendra babu, it was a matter of faith, and he said he would choose to give up his post rather than not attending the function," the Uttar Pradesh chief minister said at the rally.

Bihar Election 2025 LIVE Updates: Released in just 26 seconds, NDA's manifesto 'string of lies', claims Cong leader Ashok Gehlot

Congress leader Ashok Gehlot Friday claimed that the ruling NDA released its manifesto for the Bihar assembly elections in a press conference that lasted only 26 seconds, as they are afraid of facing questions from journalists.

Addressing a press conference here, Gehlot termed the NDA's manifesto a “string of lies”.

He also wondered why Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, and not CM Nitish Kumar, spoke about the manifesto.

“Was he (Kumar) not in a position to speak about it?” the Congress leader asked.

Congress Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh, who is also present at Gehlot's press meet, claimed that Nitish Kumar not being allowed to speak on the manifesto was a disrespect for Bihar and Biharis.

Gehlot said, “NDA leaders' press conference lasted merely 26 seconds. They were afraid of the questions that may have been asked by reporters about their governance.” They should have begun their press conference with a report card of their 20-year rule, he said.
