Summary
As campaigning for the first phase of the Bihar elections draws to a close, parties have ramped up their efforts, with leaders from across the country descending on the state to rally voter support.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah addressed an election rally in Bihar's Darbhanga, saying that when voters “press the 'Lotus' symbol, it should not be to elect an MLA, but to stop 'jungle raj'”, alleging that former RJD Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi did not work for the development of Bihar.
He reiterated his previous claims, alleging that Lalu and Rabri want to make their son, Tejashwi Yadav, the Chief Minister of Bihar, and Sonia Gandhi wants to make her son, Rahul Gandhi, the Prime Minister.
“I want to tell them that neither Lalu ji's son will become CM nor Sonia Gandhi's son will become the PM. There is no vacancy for these people," said Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
He also spoke about Jevika Didis, saying that recently, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar transferred over Rs 1 crore, Rs 10,000 each, into their bank accounts.
“The RJD has written to the Election Commission to take back the Rs 10,000 each from Jevika Didis,” he alleged.
Amongst the promises, he said that the NDA alliance will construct Kaushal Vikas Kendras in every district in the state, and that a defence corridor will be established in Bihar. He said that every district will get a new factory, and 10 new industrial parks will be constructed in the state.
"In the next 5 years, we will make an engineering and medical college and hospital in every district of the state. We have already built two IT parks and plan to build three more in the state...NDA has decided that we will make a defence corridor in the state," he said.

He also spoke about the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, saying that "Goli ka jawaab gole se diya jaayega."
Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath also campaigned for Bihar Minister and BJP candidate from Darbhanga, Sanjay Saraogi, in Darbhanga on Tuesday, November 4.
