Ghuspetia Showdown: Modi, Shah Target Mahagathbandhan in Bihar Poll Battle

This special report focuses on the heated political debate over 'Ghuspetia' or infiltrators in Bihar's Seemanchal region, a key issue in the election campaign. Top leaders including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah have accused the Mahagathbandhan of shielding infiltrators for vote-bank politics. Hitting back at the allegations, Congress Chief Mallikarjun Kharge questioned the government's own track record, asking, 'Why did they not push out infiltrators?'. The Bharatiya Janata Party has made the issue a central poll plank, with Amit Shah vowing to detect, delete from voter lists, and deport every illegal immigrant, alleging they take the rights of Bihar's legitimate citizens. This has set the stage for a charged electoral contest, pitting the BJP's national security narrative against the opposition's questions on the government's accountability.
