BJP's tactics of spreading fear not going to work: Tejashwi Yadav
leader (RJD)
Tejashwi Yadav
on Sunday slammed the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), while countering the ruling alliance's 'Jungle Raj' jibe, saying that their "tactics of spreading fear are not going to work". The State faces assembly elections later in the year.
Addressing at the Vaishya Representative Conference in Patna, Tejashwi Yadav questioned Chief Minister Nitish Kumar-led NDA alliance in
Bihar
over trade and asserted that never talk about those issues but only about jungle raj.
"We have been in opposition for the last 20 years, and they are still crying over us. Why are they not taking accountability for their work? What have they done? What's their blueprint to increase trade in Bihar? How will they make small enterprises more beneficial? They'll never talk about that. They will say that Jungle Raaj will come. I have also been the Deputy CM for 18 months. Did the people not come out of their homes?

Tejashwi Yadav also highlighted Bihar's increasing poverty, unemployment and crime rates.
"If you will look at the NITI Aayog's report, Bihar is no.1 in poverty, migration, and unemployment. There are no industries. If they (the NDA government) had even opened one sugar mill, then you tell me. Bihar is at the bottom in terms of education and health. NCRB's data says that after 2005, crime has continuously increased. What steps have been taken to create a safer environment? Has the chief minister visited any victim's house to share their grief?" Tejashwi Yadav said.

Tejashwi Yadav reaffirmed that the RJD want to give Bihar a government that prioritises education, healthcare, income, and many other issues, while firing shots at
Nitish Kumar
, saying that there is neither justice nor development in Bihar.
"We want to give Bihar a government where there is education, healthcare, income, irrigation, listening, and action. Today, there is neither listening nor action. Today, you can go anywhere and see that there is immense corruption. Nitish Kumar talks about Jungle Raj, but gives parole to such criminals who keep AK-47 at their house. Today, there is neither justice nor development in Bihar... We have always stood with the public of the state," Yadav said.
Ahead of the Assembly Election in Bihar, Leaders of the BJP, Janata Dal-United JD (U) and other constituents of the NDA have been reminding people of Bihar of "jungle raj" under Lalu Prasad, saying there was a significant neglect of infrastructure, including roads, electricity, healthcare, and education.
RJD leaders, on their part, have said that people will vote for change in Bihar polls and that the state continues to face problems of poverty and unemployment.

MyVoice: Views of our readers 2nd July 2025
Sigachi blast exposes chinks in the armour The tragic incident at Sigachi Industries Ltd in the outskirts of Hyderabad, where 15 lives were lost and over 35 injured, is a heart-wrenching reminder of the glaring gaps in workplace safety (The Hans India July 1). The blast was so powerful that it brought down a three-storey building, leaving a trail of destruction and chaos. Witnesses were horrified seeing workers being tossed 100 meters into the air due to the reactor explosion. Despite having robust labour laws like the Factories Act and Industrial Safety Rules, non-implementation of the procedures, such as regular safety inspections, has led to this devastation. Regular safety audits are crucial in chemical and pharmaceutical companies, and regular inspection of boilers and reactors is mandatory. The reactor blast exposes the failure of the inspector of factories in preventing the tragedy. This incident underscores the urgent need for stricter enforcement of safety protocols and accountability to prevent such avoidable tragedies. Ganti Venkata Sudhir, Secunderabad MIM should stay away from Bihar elections The AIMIM has decided to form a third electoral front in Bihar to stop the Nitish Kumar-led NDA from coming to power. This move will only split the crucial anti-NDA votes of the minorities. The AIMIM is seen as a catalyst for NDA's successes in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra. It is often dubbed as a covert 'B' team of the BJP. Considering that it is not really a major player in Bihar elections, it would be wise if it stays away from the polls and supports the opposition alliance to establish its own credentials. P R Ravinder, New Mirjalguda, Hyderabad Why so much heat over English? The Hans India editorial 'Mandating Hindi and secularism debate may boomerang on BJP' (June 30) is an apt message to the NDA government at the Centre. It could have desisted passing unwanted and unwarranted dialogues without any provocation from any corner of the country. Union Home Minister Amit Shah's ire at English has triggered a nationwide debate. Is he not aware that the British were driven out from our country, which, however, retained their language which is as good as a mother tongue to many? Teaching in the mother tongue is the first choice, but English must be mandated across educational institutions. Once can choose the third language, which generally is Hindi. The Centre has courted an unnecessary controversy over 'socialist' and 'secular' in the preamble. Dr NSR Murthy, Secunderabad Restrict the entry of pilgrims during festivities This refers to '3 killed, 50 hurt in Puri Rath Yatra stampede' (The Hans India, June 30). Sunday's tragedy near the Shree Gundicha temple in Puri is heartrending. Incidents of fatal stampedes are on the rise in the country. It is a herculean task to curb thousands of devotees and pilgrims from moving towards the deity on such auspicious occasions. Unfortunately, many people, especially pilgrims, are unmindful of their safety. They don't display common sense. Discipline and patience are a part and parcel of every walk of life. The authorities concerned should limit and restrict the footfall of devotees to avoid recurrence of such stampedes and tragedies. Zubair Khan, Tolichowki, Hyderabad Stop construction of houses in industrial areas Monday's major fire accident at Pashamylaram in Patancheru is heart-breaking and a wake-up call to streamline the licensing process for pharma and chemical companies and factories. Sigachi pharma supplies ammonia related chemicals to various pharma firms apart from manufacturing a drug called consistain microstalain. Reportedly, the cause of the fire was the failure to clean the blower on a regular basis. Pantancheru is an industrial area that has many residences and high-rise buildings in the surroundings. It is very dangerous to allow residential buildings in a location where chemicals are being processed. It is time the authorities put a stop to realtors constructing houses in industrial areas like Patancher. Moreover, regular safety audits must be mandated. Pratapa Reddy Yaramala, Tiruvuru (AP)

YSRCP to launch door-to-door campaign to expose State govt's failures
Vizianagaram: Opposition YSR Congress is planning to expose the ruling NDA government's failures and its going to explain the same to public in door-to-door campaign. Actually the campaign was launched on June 25 and will be continue for five weeks. District YSRCP president and ZP Chairman Majji Srinivasa Rao (Chinna Srinu) urged all party functionaries to actively participate in this initiative. He emphasised that the campaign's goal was to raise public awareness about the unfulfilled promises made by Chief Minister Chandrababu Naidu and his allies, and to contrast them with the successfully implemented welfare schemes under the leadership of former chief minister Y S Jagan Mohan Reddy. 'The so-called 'Super Six' schemes promised in the NDA manifesto have failed to materialise,' Srinivasa Rao said. The promises include -Rs1,500 monthly assistance for women, Rs3,000–Rs6,000 unemployment dole for youth, free bus travel, Rs20,000 annual support for farmers and free gas cylinders for homemakers. To make the campaign interactive and data-driven, the YSRCP has introduced QR code-based outreach. Citizens can scan the code to access detailed comparisons between the TDP's manifesto promises and their actual delivery, or lack thereof. One button reveals the full text of Chandrababu's 2024 manifesto, while another provides data showing how much each household potentially lost due to unfulfilled commitments, he said. Apart from this, the ZP Chairman said that party district committee meeting will be held on July 3 to discuss several public issues. He said that cadre will be motivated to work on behalf of public and to question the government led by Naidu.
