PM Modi urges voters to keep ‘Jungle Raj’ away and opt for progress in Bihar

Sitamarhi, Nov 08 (UNI) Prime Minister Narendra Modi today urged the people of Bihar to reject "Jungle Raj" and opt for development in the ongoing state assembly elections.
Addressing a public meeting in support of NDA candidates, Modi emphasized the need to remain alert and ensure that the state's progress is not derailed. He reminded voters of the 15 years of "Jungle Raj" that plagued Bihar since the 1990s and urged them to make a thoughtful decision when casting their ballots.
Taking a jab at the RJD’s campaign style, Modi criticized the party’s use of songs promoting "gun culture" and terror among the youth. He stressed that Bihar's future should focus on building a generation of doctors, professionals, and responsible citizens, not criminals.
