India Today

This special report focuses on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's election campaign launch in Bihar, with rallies in Samastipur and Begusarai. The campaign begins from the birthplace of former Chief Minister and newly conferred Bharat Ratna recipient, Karpoori Thakur, with the PM paying floral tributes. Addressing BJP workers, Prime Minister Modi stated, ‘The discussion on jungle raj will continue even for the next 100 years... people can never forgive those associated with jungle raj’. The report delves into the BJP's strategy of invoking 'Jangal Raj', a term associated with the former RJD government's tenure, to target the Mahagatbandhan opposition alliance. It also highlights the significance of honouring Karpoori Thakur, a move aimed at appealing to the Extremely Backward Castes in the state ahead of the crucial polls.
