Patna (Bihar) [India], October 27 (ANI): Union Minister Chirag Paswan took a swipe at the opposition as he claimed that they will use 'any means necessary' to win the elections, highlighting the recent alleged attack on the NDA candidate's convoy in Bhaktipur.

'The opposition parties, especially the RJD, have the ideology of using any means necessary to win elections. Our fight is against this mindset... The convoy of the NDA candidate of Bhaktiyarpur, LJP leader Arun Kumar, was attacked today by anti-social elements belonging to opposition parties,' he said.

He further accused the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of targeting any Dalit who starts getting power. He also vowed not to let the 'jungle raj' return to the state.

'This incident forces us to think that RJD thinks that people from deprived sectors of society are only good for giving votes, that these people should not reach such a level in society that they can join the mainstream. That is why whenever someone from the Dalit or backward classes starts becoming powerful, then these people try to threaten him by any means... Chirag Paswan, LJP, and NDA will never negotiate with such anti-social elements. My government is committed to ensuring the strictest action against all the culprits. We will never let 'jungle raj' return to Bihar,' he said.

Speaking on RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, Pawan remarked that the people of Bihar never chose his party. He further underlined that the election results will be 'historic' as there is unity in the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan is divided.

'In the 15 years, the way you, your family, and your government have worked to ruin Bihar is the reason why Bihar has never chosen you. But yes, if you manage to form a government through some 'jugaad' and garner support, that's a different matter. However, the public has never given you a second chance. In 2020, when they said they were a big party, it was because there was no unity in the NDA; we were fighting elections separately, which benefited you. Today, when there is unity in the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan is divided, the result this time will be historic,' Paswan said.

The voting for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with the results declared on November 14. (ANI)
