Bihar Elections: Modi's Sharp Rebuke of Opposition Tactics
With Bihar Assembly elections looming, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the opposition, accusing them of employing divisive and unethical strategies to gain political advantage. His remarks, delivered during a significant rally, mark a significant escalation in the pre-election rhetoric.
Accusations of Misinformation and Character Assassination
Modi directly addressed what he termed a deliberate campaign of misinformation and character assassination targeting his party and its candidates. He cited several instances, without naming specific individuals, where he claimed false narratives were being spread through social media and traditional media outlets. "The people of Bihar deserve better than this type of politics," Modi stated, emphasizing the need for a clean and issue-based campaign.
Targeting the Opposition's Promises
The Prime Minister also challenged the opposition's promises, alleging they were unrealistic and unsustainable. He highlighted several key policy proposals, arguing they lacked concrete plans for implementation and were designed solely to garner votes. "Empty promises ring hollow," he asserted, urging the electorate to carefully scrutinize the opposition's pledges.
Focus on Development and Progress
In contrast to the opposition’s alleged tactics, Modi focused his speech on the developmental achievements of his government in Bihar. He detailed infrastructure projects, initiatives promoting education and healthcare, and strides made in economic growth. He presented a vision for the future, emphasizing continued progress and prosperity under his party’s leadership.
- Improved infrastructure in rural areas
- Expansion of healthcare facilities

Appeal for Responsible Citizenship
Modi concluded his address with a passionate appeal to the citizens of Bihar. He urged them to exercise their right to vote responsibly, rejecting divisive politics and choosing leaders committed to genuine progress. He emphasized the importance of maintaining peace and harmony during the election process. "Let us make Bihar a shining example of democratic values," he concluded, urging a fair and transparent electoral process.
The opposition parties are yet to respond formally to Modi's accusations, but the intense pre-election atmosphere suggests a heated campaign ahead.
