Chirag Paswan recalls RJD's rule, blamed Lalu-Rabri for Bihar's backwardness
Attacking the rule of Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi, the LJP (RV) leader said that their regime put the State in back gear and that's the reason even today, Bihar is rated a backward State.
Accompanied by senior leaders of his party and MPs, he pointed out that the State of Bihar is at the bottom in different parameters in terms of development. Mr. Paswan urged the people that time has come that will shape their future for the next five year and can put Bihar on the top rank in the country.
'In the coming few months, Bihar election will be held, which will determine our next five years' future. In the 90s, we wasted so many such five years, due to which Bihar ranks at the bottom in terms of development. But this time, we have the opportunity to build a Bihar that is counted not only in the country but among the developed states of the entire world. Where Bihar, along with every Bihari, is first,'Mr. Paswan said while addressing the Nav Sankalp ((New Resolution)) Mahasabha.
Attacking the Opposition parties, Hajipur MP said that the path towards the development of the State is not easy and plenty of obstacles will come.
'As the election approaches, leaders of RJD, Congress, and all opposition parties will come to present their views. Then you should ask them when their coalition had a long opportunity, why they did not make Bihar a developed state. In the 90s, a deep divide was created, which forced Biharis to migrate to other states and countries,' Mr. Paswan said.
Criticising the earlier government, he added when he visits the other State and country, he sees the pain in the eyes of the people of Bihar who have migrated from their own state leaving the families back home to earn their livelihood. He also said that many even have settled there.
He promised that he will not allow youths to go outside the State in search of employment and education. He pledged to create such opportunities in Bihar itself.
'The Opposition parties in Bihar do not want any Bihari to become educated. They do not want better employment opportunities to be established in Bihar. Because they know that the day Bihar's youth become educated and start asking questions, like Chirag Paswan does, their politics of caste and religion will come to an end,' Mr. Paswan said.
Mr. Paswan claimed that many political parties are afraid of him and they cannot tolerate him and his campaign of Bihar First Bihari First. Without naming anyone, the Union Minister alleged that there are people who want to end his political career.
'Those who want to keep my Bihar backward, I stand tall and firm before them. I too will see how my Bihar does not progress, how my Bihar does not become number one. I am not afraid of anyone because I am the son of lion Ram Vilas Paswan who has never bowed down in front of anyone,' Mr. Paswan said.

What rivals ideate, Nitish inks: The script behind the Bihar election sop story
In Bihar's humid July heat, domestic consumers can now let their fans and fridges hum guilt-free. On July 17, chief minister Nitish Kumar announced a waiver of up to 125 electricity units each month for 18.7 million households—a timely gust of cool relief that the Janata Dal (United) hopes will translate into electoral capital this fact, no welfare docket has been left untouched as Nitish is trying to position himself, once again, as the indispensable steward of Bihar's politics. Backed by a state subsidy of Rs 19,792 crore for the current financial year, the electricity waiver ensures zero billing on the first 125 units consumed—enough to power the basic needs of challenger Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) may have pledged 200 units of free electricity should the Opposition mahagathbandhan come to power, but Nitish's offering is no longer speculative; it has cabinet approval and will reflect in the power bills for August. He has transformed a rival's populist script into state policy, handing voters immediate relief as against one assembly elections barely months away, Nitish has absorbed and actualised key welfare ideas mooted by the Opposition—higher pension, job quota for women, subsidised electricity—demonstrating that in Bihar, at least, it is the doer, not the dreamer, who may have the edge. DOMICILE-ONLY WOMEN'S QUOTAIn a subtle but significant move on July 8, the Bihar cabinet amended its flagship government jobs scheme, tightening eligibility criteria so that the 35 per cent quota for women applies only to domiciled residents of the the first time, the gates have been shut for 'bahari' aspirants. What may seem an administrative recalibration is, in essence, a finely tuned electoral calculation: only those who cast their lot in Bihar can now share its spoils. Politically, it underscores a reciprocal logic—if only Biharis can vote, only Biharis should benefit. The subtext is unmistakable: women voters, no longer passive participants, now take UP PENSIONIn mid-June, the Nitish cabinet sanctioned a sweeping increase in social security pensions, raising monthly payments for widows, senior citizens and people with disabilities from Rs 400 to Rs 1,100. The measure immediately benefitted 11 million July 11, Nitish presided over a transfer ceremony where Rs 1,227.27 crore worth of pensions were electronically disbursed. It was a subtle but unmistakable stroke of oneupmanship: Tejashwi had promised similar hikes but Nitish had already enacted OR CAPABLE?Critics in the RJD have derided Nitish's latest moves as 'copycat politics'—a borrowing of Tejashwi's vision. Yet this critique underestimates the potency of execution. While Tejashwi's pledges remain parked in manifestos, Nitish has mobilised bureaucracies, secured budget lines and rolled out Nitish truly excels is in compressing the distance between announcement and implementation. Pension increases were credited within days. The 35 per cent women's quota change moved seamlessly from cabinet resolution to revised recruitment rules. The electricity subsidy arrived with operational clarity, including a plan to install rooftop solar systems, fully subsidised for BPL (below poverty line) families and partially supported for others. It's not merely optics. It's a bureaucratic ballet orchestrated to perfection, offering both relief and ELECTORAL ARITHMETICIn Bihar, electoral success hinges increasingly on women voters, who now consistently outvote their male counterparts. From 1951 to 2005, male voter turnout exceeded female turnout in every assembly changed in 2010, when 54.49 per cent of women voted as against 51.12 per cent of men. In 2015, women led again: 60.54 per cent to 53.30 per cent. The 2020 polls followed the same trend—59.68 per cent women's turnout against 54.45 per cent men. Even in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the divide endured: 59.45 per cent women, 53 per cent numbers mark a profound shift. Bihar's women no longer arrive at the ballot box in their husbands' or fathers' shadow—they come early and vote independently. In a state traditionally defined by caste affiliations, gender has emerged as an autonomous axis of sensing the direction of the wind, the Opposition is scrambling to shore up its pitch. The Congress, taking a page out of Hemant Soren's Jharkhand playbook, has promised a Maa-Bahan Maan Yojana, a monthly entitlement of Rs 2,500 to vulnerable women. The RJD has backed the Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party, on its part, has committed to fielding at least 40 women candidates—a recognition, perhaps, of a changing electorate that cares more about representation than STRATEGIST'S EDGEIn reserving the job quota for domiciled women and delivering on pensions and free power, Nitish isn't simply doling out benefits—he's redrawing Bihar's political map. By targeting welfare towards women, he is both rewarding loyalty and cementing future even if some of the ideas weren't originally his, so be it. As with his rooftop solar plan, Nitish is proving that borrowed light can still power a home, especially if you switch it on before anyone else does. In the upcoming high-stakes election, it is not the originality of an idea but the speed and success of its execution that may decide the direction of the to India Today Magazine- EndsMust Watch

Rabri Devi Accuses Centre, Bihar Govt of Plotting Voter Disenfranchisement Ahead of Polls
Former Bihar Chief Minister and senior RJD leader Rabri Devi has launched a sharp attack on the Centre and the state government, alleging a coordinated attempt to disenfranchise voters through the ongoing Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in Bihar. Speaking to IANS, Rabri Devi claimed that nearly three crore citizens, including migrant workers and flood-displaced residents, have been arbitrarily removed from the voter list. She described the exercise as a 'planned political move' and questioned why similar revisions were not conducted in other states. 'This is not just negligence, this is injustice,' she said. The RJD leader accused the Election Commission of India (ECI) of demanding excessive documentation from voters, including ancestral records, and urged citizens to resist such demands. She alleged that the revision disproportionately affects vulnerable populations ahead of the upcoming elections. Rabri Devi directly blamed Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating that the revision was being carried out at the Centre's behest in collaboration with the Bihar government. 'Why only Bihar? Why not Madhya Pradesh?' she asked, calling the move an attempt to rob people of their voting rights. She also criticized the ECI for failing to adequately inform citizens about the revision process and demanded that officials reach out to affected voters. Turning to the law and order situation, Rabri Devi expressed concern over a recent surge in violent crimes across Bihar. She cited the killings of Gopal Khemka, Ajit Kumar, Ramakant Yadav, and others as evidence of deteriorating governance. 'Crime is on the rise, and Nitish Kumar, who holds the Home portfolio, seems unable to control the situation,' she said. In a controversial remark, Rabri Devi suggested that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar should step aside and appoint his son as CM, arguing that younger leadership might be more effective. Her comments come amid growing opposition criticism and renewed accusations of a return to 'jungle raj.' Congress leader Rahul Gandhi recently referred to Bihar as the 'crime capital of India,' citing 31 murders in 11 days and warning of a thriving contract killing industry.

Tejashwi meets Bihar Assembly Speaker, seeks discussion on SIR in House
Adopting a belligerent stance, Yadav, a former deputy chief minister himself, said that the Speaker will have to agree to a discussion on the issue Press Trust of India Patna RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday called on Bihar Assembly Speaker Nand Kishore Yadav and requested that the House take up for discussion the controversial special intensive revision (SIR) of electoral rolls in the state. The leader of the opposition in the assembly spoke to journalists after meeting the Speaker inside the latter's chamber, on the inaugural day of the monsoon session. "We requested that the matter be taken up for discussion in the House tomorrow. The assembly is the largest temple of democracy in Bihar... democracy is under attack in the state. An attempt is being made to rob the deprived sections of their right to vote. We will fight it out from the House to the streets (sadan se sadak tak)," Yadav said. However, senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary, who spoke to journalists separately, said, "The fears are unfounded. Not a single genuine voter's name will be dropped. All will exercise their franchise in the upcoming assembly polls." Adopting a belligerent stance, Yadav, a former deputy chief minister himself, said that the Speaker will have to agree to a discussion on the issue. "Any reluctance on his part or unwillingness from the ruling side will have strong consequences," he said. Yadav also spoke of a letter he has written to alliance partners outside the state, like Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee and Samajwadi Party supremo Akhilesh Yadav, seeking their support on the issue of SIR. "I have written a letter and I hope that the matter will be raised on the national level, too, with Parliament also in session," the INDIA bloc partner said. Replying to a query, the RJD leader said, "Yes, there are other issues, like the recent spurt in violent crimes, on which we will seek to corner the government."
