People trust the track record of Narendra-Nitish: Modi hails record turnout in Bihar polls
Nov-07-2025

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the record voter turnout in the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections showed that people had reposed their faith in the ‘track record of Narendra and Nitish.’

Addressing a public rally in Aurangabad, Modi said, ‘Never before in Bihar’s history has the turnout been so high. Much of the credit goes to mothers and sisters who came out in large numbers, raising the turnout to nearly 65%. It is evident that they trust the track record of Narendra-Nitish’. He said ‘The people have voted to ensure that an NDA government, which would guarantee good governance, remains in place in Bihar’.

The prime minister accused the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress of failing to deliver development. He claimed, ‘Even Congress doesn’t trust the RJD’s promises, and they don’t even mention the RJD manifesto’. 

Taking a dig at the opposition, Modi warned against the return of ‘jungle raj’, recalling the violence and Naxal insurgency that marked past elections. He said, ‘The jungle raj wallahs have taught even children to speak of katta and dunaali. They stand for everything that blocks investment and jobs.’ 

Modi also credited Nitish Kumar with ending jungle raj but noted that he faced non-cooperation from the Congress-led UPA during his first nine years as Chief Minister.

Referring to the land-for-jobs scam involving RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his family, Modi said, ‘They promised jobs but made people give up their land. Now they are out on bail.’ PM alleged that the opposition’s ‘five identities’ were guns, cruelty, bitterness, bad governance and corruption and argued that Bihar needed a government capable of attracting industry and investment.

PM also highlighted national issues, listing what he described as fulfilled guarantees, such as the construction of the Ram temple, the abrogation of Article 370 and the implementation of One Rank One Pension. ‘I have done what I promised from the land of Bihar,’ he added.
