Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation and Senior BJP Shri Amit Shah addressed public meetings in Sitamarhi and Madhubani, Bihar & criticized the Congress and RJD for impeding Bihar’s development and underscored Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s welfare schemes. During the event, Sitamarhi Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Devesh Chandra Thakur, Madhubani Lok Sabha Candidate Shri Ashok Yadav and other leaders were present on the stage.
Union Home Minister stated that he would like to begin by paying homage to Sita Mata on her sacred land. He also paid his respects to the holy sites of Panch Pakhar Mandir and Baba Nageshwar Nath. Furthermore, honoring Shri Karpoori Thakur, who dedicated his life not only to Bihar but to the underprivileged, backward, and farmers across the nation. In the 1950s and 1960s, there was a debate on whether Lohia ji’s theory would be applicable in our country. Today, I want to pay homage to Lohia ji and assert that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, hailing from the humblest background, has undertaken the most significant efforts to propel the nation forward.
Shri Shah noted that the region is globally renowned and respected for its Paan, Fish, Makhana and Dahi Chura. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji resolved the issue of Ram Mandir, which had been left unresolved by Congress and RJD for many years. Under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, the case was won within five years, and the Bhoomi Poojan was conducted and performed “Pran Pratishtha” of Shri Ram Lalla’ on January 22.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that the struggle was symbolized by the slogan “Jai Shree Ram,” which Hon’ble Prime Minister Modi Ji extended to include Sita Mata with “Jai Siya Ram,” signifying devotion and dedication. Despite invitations being sent to Lalu Prasad Yadav, his sons, Mallikarjun Kharge, Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Priyanka Gandhi, none attended the “Pran Pratishtha” of Ram Lalla’s mandir, fearing their vote bank. The BJP, however, is unafraid of any vote bank. If the INDI Alliance were to win by mistake, who would be their Prime Minister? Could it be Mamta Banerjee? Could it be Stalin? Could it be Sharad Pawar? Could it be Lalu Yadav? When the INDI Alliance members were asked, they said that they would take turns, each serving for one year. The Congress-led UPA government has been involved in corruption amounting to ₹12 lakh crore. On the other hand, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, who has served as both Prime Minister and Chief Minister for a combined total of 23 years, has not been implicated in a single case of corruption. From the residence of a Congress parliamentarian, cash worth ₹350 crore were seized, while from the home of a TMC minister cash worth ₹51 crore were recovered. Cash worth ₹31 crore was confiscated from the residence of a Jharkhand Congress minister. The Modi Ji-led government will work to send all corrupt individuals behind bars, ensuring that the stolen money is returned to the poor people of the country.
Shri Shah emphasized that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has fulfilled the promise of building the Ram Lalla temple in Ayodhya. The next goal is to construct a grand memorial on Sita Mata’s land. Those who distanced themselves from the Ram Lalla temple cannot build this memorial. Only the Bharatiya Janata Party and Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji’s government can create a magnificent memorial reflecting Mata Sita’s sacrifice, dedication, and ideals. This memorial will not only attract people from Bihar, Purvanchal, Mithilanchal, and India but will also become a center of attraction worldwide under the Bharatiya Janata Party’s government.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has posthumously awarded Bharat Ratna to Late Karpoori Thakur. Lalu Yadav has been in government for a total of 25 years, both at the center and in Bihar, but never considered conferring Bharat Ratna upon Late Karpoori Thakur. Instead, he focused solely on promoting his own family members. Karpoori Thakur tirelessly worked for the upliftment of backward classes, extremely backward classes, farmers, villages, and the poor. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji is carrying forward the same agenda. Lalu Yadav is solely driven by the pursuit of power. By aligning with the Congress and pushing for his son to become chief minister, he has disregarded the interests of the backward and extremely backward classes, which the Congress has historically opposed. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, who ensured 33% reservation for women in Parliament despite opposition, including Lalu Yadav who had opposed the reservation for women.
Shri Shah highlighted that the Kaka Kalelkar commission presented the first report to grant reservation back in 1955, yet Jawaharlal Nehru prevented its implementation. Subsequently, the Mandal commission was established, but neither Indira Gandhi nor Rajiv Gandhi endorsed its implementation; in fact, Rajiv Gandhi opposed it in the parliament in a 2 hours and 40 minutes speech. The Congress has historically neglected the welfare of women from backward and extremely backward classes. Contrastingly, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, being the first extremely backward Prime Minister, took proactive steps. He established the National Commission for Backward Classes, providing constitutional recognition to the backward class. PM Shri Modi Ji also granted a significant 27% reservation to the OBC community. The INDI alliance is spreading rumors that if Shri Narendra Modi Ji secures a majority, he will abolish reservation. Congress provided 5% reservation to a special community after winning in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh by diverting it from SC, ST, and OBC categories. Granting reservations based on religion goes against the constitution. However, it’s crucial to note that despite BJP’s majority for the past 10 years, there hasn’t been any contemplation of revoking reservation. Rest assured, as long as BJP holds even a single MP in Parliament, no one will dare to tamper with the reservation for SC, ST and OBC. This is ‘Modi Ji ki Guarantee.’
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that despite Congress’s 60-year rule without significant strides for the poor, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has positively impacted the lives of 60 crore poor individuals. In Bihar alone, 86 lakh farmers received an annual assistance of ₹6,000, while 1 crore 60 lakh people gained access to Nal se Jal. 88 lakh individuals received health coverage worth ₹5 lakh under the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Moreover, 1 crore 33 lakh toilets were constructed, 9 crore people received free ration, and 40 lakh poor citizens were provided pucca houses under the PM Awas Yojana. Furthermore, PM Shri Modi Ji ensured the administration of two doses of the Covid-19 vaccine, securing the entire nation. Rahul Gandhi and Tejaswi Yadav misled the public by terming the vaccine “Modi Ji Teeka.” Both Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi eventually received the vaccination.
Shri Shah stated that while Lalu Yadav often speaks about Bihar, he should explain the contributions he made to the state during his 15 years as Chief Minister and his 10 years as a central minister. From 2004 to 2014, Bihar received ₹2.8 lakh crore, whereas under Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji, from 2014 to 2024, Bihar received ₹11.23 lakh crore. The Kosi River used to divide Mithilanchal into two parts, where the same language and culture prevailed. Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee built a bridge to connect them, and Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji completed the work by constructing a railway line, uniting Mithilanchal. In the past, a significant number of cow slaughter cases plagued this area. If you elect Hon’ble PM Shri Narendra Modi Ji as Prime Minister for the third time, we will ensure stringent action against those who engage in such activities. Those who kill cows will face severe consequences, including appropriate legal punishment.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation noted that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has significantly improved Bihar’s infrastructure, education system, healthcare facilities, and provided benefits like “Nal se Jal” in every home, toilets in every home, gas connections, 5 kg of grain, and free healthcare worth 5 lakh rupees. Lalu Prasad Yadav hasn’t done anything significant for Punaura Dham. Shri Amit Shah promised that under the leadership of Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji and the Bharatiya Janata Party, a Dham would be constructed that would attract visitors from around the world. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji will connect Janakpur to the Ramayan Circuit. Work of including the Maithili language in the 8th schedule was undertaken by the Bharatiya Janata Party under the leadership of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. Additionally, Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji worked to introduce the Maithili language in the UPSC and BPSC exams, allowing students from Madhubani to study in Maithili and take the UPSC exam. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has the authority to honor the Maithili language; those from Italy cannot do so.
Shri Shah discussed the Riga sugar mill which was significant during the British era, supplying sugar as far as Gujarat but has been closed for the past five years. He mentioned that Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji has started the cooperative department, and it is now the responsibility of the BJP to restart the Riga sugar mill. The mill will produce ethanol, sugar, and jaggery, with profits directly deposited into the bank accounts of the farmers of Riga.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation stated that the people must choose between “Jungle Raj” and “Vikas Raj.” Lalu and his party can only engage in “Tel Pivavan, Lathiya Ghumawan” politics, which will not benefit Bihar. He questioned whether such a regime would benefit Bihar. Only Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji can lead Bihar forward.
Shri Shah highlighted that Modi Ji has empowered the youth of Bihar by providing them with Made in India phones and the cheapest data, while the INDI Alliance wants to revert Bihar to the “Lalten Yug.“ He emphasized that Kashmir is an integral part of India and criticized the Congress party and Lalu’s company for treating Article 370 like a plaything for 70 years. AICC President Mallikarjun Kharge remarked that what do the people of Rajasthan and Bihar have to do with Kashmir? He should realize that every child in Bihar is willing to sacrifice their life for Kashmir.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation noted that after the public elected Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi Ji for the second time and Article 370 was abolished on August 5, 2019. INDI Alliance had predicted rivers of blood if Article 370 was removed, but five years have passed without any significant violence. Congress and Farooq Abdullah fear of demanding PoK due to the threat of an atomic bomb from Pakistan, stating that Rahul Gandhi may be afraid, but India, with its 130-crore people, is not. PoK is and will remain a part of India, and India will reclaim it.
Shri Shah pointed out that during Congress rule, Naxalism plagued the entirety of Bihar and Jharkhand. However, since PM Shri Modi Ji took office, Naxalism has been eradicated from Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Telangana, Odisha, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. While there remains a small presence in Chhattisgarh, we are committed to eliminating Naxalism from there within the next two years. This is Modi Ji’s guarantee. There have been reports of encroachment on the Nepal border, but Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Modi Ji is committed to ensuring the security of the border in the upcoming term. PFI aims to establish an Islamic State across the entire country. This agenda flourished under the patronage of Lalu Yadav. However, one day, PM Shri Modi Ji conducted raids on 100 locations nationwide, resulting in the arrest of numerous PFI members.
Hon’ble Union Home Minister & Minister of Cooperation remarked that PM Shri Modi Ji’s initiatives in Sitamarhi include significant infrastructure projects like the ₹700 crore two-laning of the Sheohar-Sitamarhi-Jaynagar-Narhiya road, construction of a 55 km road Sitamarhi- Pupri-Benipatti, establishment of a medical college, ongoing road construction, electrification of railway lines, allocation of 1,73,000 houses, distribution of 2,50,000 Ayushman cards, provision of gas connections to 3,00,000 households, distribution of free ration to 6,00,000 people, provision of tap water connections to 5,00,000 households, and benefitting 2,00,000 farmers under the Kisan Saman Nidhi scheme.
