Uttar Pradesh chief minister and prominent BJP star campaigner, Yogi Adityanath, launched a scathing attack on the opposition in Bihar with assembly elections underway on Thursday, urging the electorate to remain united against the “Jungle Raj" and “Mafia Raj" allegedly propagated by the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

Addressing rallies in the Bagaha and Ramnagar assembly constituencies ahead of the second phase of the elections on November 11, Adityanath emphasised that caste divisions only invite exploitation and instability.

Adityanath’s speeches centred on a hard-hitting, historically loaded phrase that linked division with defeat and suffering: “Jab bhi bante the, toh kate the (Whenever we were divided, we were cut)!"

He passionately appealed to the voters to reject divisive politics, stating, “Batna nahin hai, ekjut hokar Congress aur RJD ke ‘Jungle Raj’ aur ‘Mafia Raj’ ka munhtod jawab dena hai (We must not be divided; we must unite and deliver a crushing reply to the Congress and RJD’s ‘Jungle Raj’ and ‘Mafia Raj’)." He underscored the security benefit of solidarity: “Jaati-paanti mein batna nahin hai, ek rahenge toh safe rahenge… (Don’t divide yourselves based on caste; if you remain one, you will remain safe…)."

The BJP’s core campaign narrative against the RJD has historically centred on the issue of law and order, using the term “Jungle Raj" to reference the perceived collapse of governance during the RJD’s past tenure. Adityanath, known for his firm administrative approach in UP, forcefully argued that a return of the Congress-RJD alliance would mean a regression to an era of instability and criminal dominance. He warned that the coalition, including their partners, represents “peshevar khaandaani mafia (professional hereditary mafias)."

Adityanath’s confidence in the NDA’s prospects was palpable as he predicted a severe electoral setback for the opposition: “Bihar ki janta-janardan ke aashirwad se Congress, RJD aur unke jitne bhi partner aur peshevar khaandaani mafia hain, in sabhi ki zamaanat zapt honi tay hai (With the blessings of the people of Bihar, the security deposits of the Congress, RJD, and all their partners and professional hereditary mafias are certain to be forfeited)."

His presence in Bagaha and Ramnagar is a strategic deployment by the NDA to consolidate support in these critical seats, utilising the fear of past instability to reinforce the alliance’s image as the sole guarantor of safety and development.

Adityanath concluded his address by offering his gratitude to the locals: “Apaar jan samarthan ke liye Bagaha Vidhan Sabha aur Ramnagar Vidhan Sabha kshetra vaasiyon ka hardik aabhaar (Heartfelt gratitude to the residents of Bagaha Assembly and Ramnagar Assembly constituency for the overwhelming public support)."
