As the poll battle intensifies in Bihar, Union Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) president Chirag Paswan predicted a “historic victory for the NDA, dismissing reports of internal friction.

The LJP leader’s remarks came after he met Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who is on a visit to poll-bound Bihar.

Speaking to reporters, Paswan said, “Union Home Minister Amit Shah is on a visit to Bihar. It is the strength of our alliance that we walking hand-in-hand towards a historical victory to build a Viksit Bharat envisioned by PM Modi."

He also hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his visit to the state 11 times after coming to power for the third consecutive time, reflecting his priority towards Bihar.

“The PM has visited Bihar 11 times in the last one year after forming the government, this shows his priority is towards Bihar," he added.

Revealing details about his meeting with Amit Shah, he said that the “strategy to win historic seats was discussed."

He asserted that there was complete unity within the alliance, saying, “NDA has respected all 5 of its allies and completed the negotiation. The nominations of all 243 candidates are clear. The names of all 243 candidates are clear. There is no confusion like the Mahagathbandhan… We have already started our campaign when the Mahagathbandhan is trying to cancel out each other’s claims," Paswan said.

The LJP leader also took a jibe at the Mahagathbandhan alliance in Bihar over its internal rift.

Describing them as a “confused alliance," he claimed, “There are head-to-head clashes going on Mahagathbandhan. Candidates have filed nominations against the candidates of their own alliance…"

Criticising the opposition, Paswan accused the RJD and Congress of destroying Bihar’s law and order during their tenure, news agency ANI reported.

“The situation in Bihar during the 1990s is no secret. Murder, kidnapping, looting, and robbery were at their peak… A perception of Bihar had been created, which stopped people from investing in Bihar. Able-bodied people of Bihar began to migrate… RJD and Congress ruined Bihar. This is the difference between the two alliances. One alliance promotes and protects crime, which is the mahagathbandhan, while our NDA alliance works only for development."

Paswan said the NDA’s goal was a complete sweep in the elections. “Our aim would be to have a 100% strike rate… We discussed how we will avoid every false narrative and focus only on the narrative of development…"

On Friday, Amit Shah had said the NDA would transform Bihar into an “industrial hub" if re-elected. Addressing an event in Patna, he said, “Now it’s time for Bihar 3.0… We will make Bihar an industrial hub… The youth of Bihar have the highest intelligence in the whole world. Bihar may have a shortage of land, but we can introduce projects that require more mental work and less land."
