RJD leader and Grand Alliance’s chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav has taken a sharp dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi. He alleged ‘Maha Jungle Raj’ in the state following the arrest of JDU candidate Anant Singh in the Mokama murder case and claimed the PM was ‘failing to see’ the rising crime rate.
What did Tejashwi say on the arrest of Anant Singh?
Tejashwi Yadav responded to PM Modi and BJP calling RJD’s old rule as ‘Jungle Raj’. He said, ‘This was bound to happen after the incident (Mokama massacre). The Prime Minister is coming to Patna today. Don’t they see the murder of father and son in Arrah, Rohtas and the daily firing? He stressed that a situation of ‘Maha Jungle Raj’ has been created in the state.
The RJD leader expressed confidence that the grand alliance will form the government on November 14 and take power on November 18. He promised that by January 26, all the criminals of Bihar will be behind the bars.

Attack on Modi on employment issue
Tejashwi Yadav attacked the Prime Minister on the issue of employment. He alleged, ‘He sets up factories in Gujarat and wants victory in Bihar. This won’t work anymore.’
Tejashwi said that PM Modi did not create a single job in 11 years and now he is talking about giving one crore jobs, which is just a gimmick.

Counterattack on the statements of Shah and Modi
Tejashwi’s statement comes after Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s statement in which he accused RJD of running ‘Jungle Raj’.
Shah had said, ‘This election is an opportunity to decide to whom the future of Bihar should be entrusted. On one side are those who started ‘Jungle Raj’. On the other hand, there is the pair of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Nitish Kumar, who have brought development.
Last month, PM Modi had attacked Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi, calling them the ‘crown prince’ of corruption and running a ‘shop of false promises’.
