|October 30, 2025
Addressing poll rallies, Shah hits out at RJD chief and Cong over corruption cases, says the game of Rahul and Lalu will be over on Nov 14
LAUNCHING an attack on the INDIA bloc, Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday alleged that RJD supremo Lalu Prasad wants to make his son Tejashwi the chief minister of Bihar and Congress leader Sonia Gandhi her son Rahul the PM, but “both posts are not vacant”.
Addressing back-to-back rallies in Bihar’s Darbhanga and Samastipur districts, Shah said, “The BJP has given tickets to many youngsters for the Bihar assembly polls, like Maithili Thakur, who does not have any political background, but the RJD and Congress have not, as Lalu ji wants to make his son Tejashwi the chief minister and Sonia ji wants her son Rahul to be the PM... but I want to let them know that both posts are not vacant. While Nitish Kumar is the Chief Minister of Bihar, Narendra Modi is serving as Prime Minister.”
