Bihar election 2025: Amit Shah slams Rahul Gandhi for calling Chhath Puja 'drama'
Oct-30-2025

Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a sharp attack on Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and 'Chhathi Maiya' by allegedly calling Chhath Puja celebrations a ‘drama.’

During an election rally in Bihar’s Lakhisarai shah said, ‘Rahul Baba has insulted Chhath Maiya. The people of Bihar will take revenge for this. Rahul Baba, neither you nor your mother can understand Chhath Maiya.’ He stated that Rahul Gandhi's remarks reflected a lack of understanding of the deep faith associated with the festival of Chhath, which holds immense spiritual significance for millions across the country. 

Union Home Minister also accused Congress workers of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s mother and added, ‘This is Bihar, when the boxes open on the 14th, the NDA will be everywhere.’

Calling on voters to strengthen the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), Shah urged the people of Lakhisarai to re-elect Vijay Kumar Sinha, highlighting his rise from a grassroots worker to Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister.

Encouraging voters to back the NDA on November 6, Shah added, ‘Each vote for the lotus and arrow is not for any MLA or minister, but for the development of Bihar under Modi ji and Nitish ji. Every vote is to stop jungle raj.’

Recalling the situation before 2005, the Home Minister accused the RJD-Congress alliance of bringing lawlessness to the state. ‘Back then, Bihar was known for kidnappings, murders, and ransom. Industries were shut. It was only after Nitish Babu took charge that development began,’ he said. 

Amit Shah also announced plans for a grand temple dedicated to Maa Sita in Sitamarhi. He also referenced ‘Operation Sindoor’, an anti-terror mission named in honour of Indian women, stating, ‘The sindoor from Lakhisarai is a symbol of the good fortune of our mothers and sisters. PM Modi’s Operation Sindoor has made the nation proud.’

Bihar will undergo polling on November 6 and 11 in two phases, and the results will be declared on November 14.
