Oct 05, 2023
Patna (Bihar) [India] October 5 : Union Minister Giriraj Singh on Thursday claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will form the government in Bihar after the 2025 assembly polls.
"As Naddaji (BJP National President JP Nadda) said, the BJP will form government in Bihar in 2025. Also, the party will come up with the maximum number of seats in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls," Singh said.
Earlier today, while addressing a public gathering on the occasion of the 100th birth anniversary of BJP leader Kailashpati Mishra in Bihar's Patna, BJP chief JP Nadda hit out at the Grand Alliance in Bihar, accusing their leadership of "corruption" and "appeasement politics".
"The leadership here (in Bihar) is filled with corruption...They are busy with appeasement politics... It is time to say goodbye to such governments, and it is time to bring the BJP (government to power)," he said.
Pointing out that previous Congress governments at the Centre could not pass the Women's Reservation Bill, BJP Chief JP Nadda underscored that the Bill which subsequently became an act was passed in the Parliament in three days under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Hitting at the previous Congress-led UPA regime, Nadda said that the Bill was "lying" in Parliament and "no one paid any attention to it".
"In UPA government, the Women's Reservation Bill was lying in Parliament...No one gave attention to it...Prime Minister Modi passed the bill in three days...," he said.
It is worth mentioning that Bihar assembly polls are scheduled to be held in 2025.
Earlier after the 2020 state assembly polls, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) led by Lalu Yadav won 75 seats against 80 of them in the last state polls, while Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United got 43 seats.
However, the BJP, which won 74 seats, and the JDU were alliance partners along with other parties with Nitish Kumar being their Chief Ministerial candidate.
Accordingly, Nitish Kumar took oath as the Bihar CM.
Later in 2022, the state witnessed political pandemonium when Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the BJP and joined the grand alliance with the RJD, named 'Mahagathbandhan' citing several issues with the BJP.
After this, RJD leader Tejaswi Yadav was sworn in as the state Deputy Chief Minister.
