PM Modi’s Fiery Speech: RJD Held ‘Katta’ to Congress’ Head in Bihar
Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered a blistering attack on the opposition during a rally in Bihar’s Nawada, accusing the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of pressuring the Congress into surrendering the Chief Ministerial face for the upcoming elections. His provocative analogy—”RJD put ‘katta’ (slang for gun) to Congress‘ head and snatched the CM face”—has intensified political tensions in Bihar.
Modi Targets Opposition Unity in Nawada Rally
Addressing a packed crowd, PM Modi mocked the crumbling INDIA bloc, stating, “Bihar has seen RJD’s jungle raj. Now, they’re bullying allies.” His comments followed Congress’ reluctant acceptance of RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav as the Mahagathbandhan’s CM candidate.
The PM’s use of ‘katta’ implied coercion, amplifying his accusation that Congress “signed a blank cheque” for RJD. “Where is their courage?” Modi asked, rallying supporters against what he called an “unequal alliance.”
RJD–Congress Power Struggle: A Forced Alliance?
Behind the scenes, Congress leaders reportedly pushed for a shared leadership role but were overruled by RJD’s dominance. BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla echoed Modi’s jab, calling it a “Congress surrender.”
Tejashwi Yadav, RJD’s de facto CM pick, has sidelined Congress’ influence, exposing cracks in the opposition’s unity.
BJP’s Game Plan: Highlight RJD’s Past, Push NDA Stability
Modi strategically invoked RJD’s controversial legacy—corruption charges and Lalu Prasad’s ‘jungle raj’—asking voters, “Should Bihar return to those days?” The crowd roared in rejection.
With Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) back in the NDA, BJP aims to frame the election as a choice between “NDA’s development” and “Mahagathbandhan’s chaos.”
Opposition Hits Back: ‘Modi Distracting from Failures’
RJD and Congress dismissed Modi’s remarks as smokescreens. Tejashwi Yadav retorted, “Who looted Bihar’s rights?” while Congress’ Jairam Ramesh accused the PM of “diverting from real issues.”
Yet, their rebuttals lack momentum as BJP’s campaign machine gains traction.
Bihar’s Political Battle: What’s Next?
Modi’s ‘katta’ remark is set to dominate the discourse, polarizing voters further. Can the opposition regroup, or will BJP’s narrative win? Bihar’s electorate holds the answer.
