Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav, accusing his government (1990-2005) of tarnishing Bihar’s image and being synonymous with corruption and lawlessness. Addressing a public meeting in Patna, Shah criticized the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and praised the progress made under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
"What did Lalu Yadav's government do in Bihar from 1990 to 2005? Lalu Yadav's government defamed Bihar in the country and the world by doing a fodder scam in the entire state. His government will always be known as 'Jungle Raj' in the history of Bihar," said Amit Shah.

He contrasted Lalu's tenure with the improvements seen under Nitish Kumar, crediting the latter for infrastructure development. "During Nitish Kumar's tenure, roads, electricity, and tap water have reached every village. Today, PM Modi has worked to take Bihar's poor forward by giving them houses, toilets, water, medicines, and ration," he added.
