Electoral contest between RJD's dark era and NDA's development era, JP Nadda said in Patna.

JP Nadda in Bihar: Bharatiya Janata Party National President JP Nadda addressed a public meeting while campaigning in support of NDA candidate Siddharth Saurabh in Bikram assembly constituency of Patna.

Union Health Minister JP Nadda spoke in Patna, the capital of Bihar.

Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national president JP Nadda on Friday (October 31, 2025) said that the Bihar assembly elections are a fight between the dark era of jungle raj of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the development era of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government.

Addressing an election rally in Bikram, Patna, the capital of Bihar, BJP President J.P. Nadda said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Bihar has progressed rapidly on the path of development, and we must safeguard this path. He said, "The NDA's election manifesto guarantees 10 million government jobs and other employment opportunities. If the alliance comes to power again, new doors of employment will open for the youth of Bihar."

He further said, "The manifesto also proposes to rename the Prime Minister's Kisan Samman Nidhi for farmers as the Karpoori Thakur Samman Nidhi, under which farmers will receive a total of ₹9,000 in three equal installments throughout the year. Previously, farmers were given three installments of ₹2,000.

Union Health Minister targeted the RJD.

Taking aim at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Nadda said, "RJD means extortion, jungle raj, and bullying." He said that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav raises the issue of migration in Bihar, whereas his father, Lalu Prasad, himself used to say that Biharis go out wearing a towel and return in a suit and tie.

He said, "There was a time when the sound of generators echoed through Bihar's villages and cities, but today electricity has reached every home. Today, every village has internet, allowing Bihar's content creators and influencers to make their mark in the digital world."

More than 5 crore Biharis have benefited from the Ayushman Bharat scheme: Nadda.

Union Health Minister J.P. Nadda said, "The Nitish Kumar-led government has provided financial assistance of 10,000 rupees to 7.5 million women. If the NDA is re-elected, each woman will be given 2 lakh rupees to make them self-reliant." He added that under the central government's Ayushman Bharat scheme, 62 crore people in the country, including more than 5 crore Biharis, are being provided health insurance coverage of up to 5 lakh rupees.
