Top themes from Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s campaign speech: “Rahul came and took out a ‘Ghuspaithiya Bachao’ yatra — I want to ask the people of Begusarai, should Bangladeshi ghuspaithiya (infiltrators) have their names on the voter list? Rahul and Lalu have both become protectors of Bangladeshi ghuspethiya (infiltrators). I promise you, if all four of our candidates win, each and every single ghuspethiya (infiltrator) will be removed from Bihar. These ghuspaithiya (infiltrators) are taking our ration, our livelihoods, and forming anti-national governments through their votes. Rahul and Lalu have both become protectors of ghuspethiya (infiltrators). Tell me they should be removed or not? Can Lalu do this? Can Rahul do this? Only Narendra Modi can do it. Bihar’s soil had become a base for PFI — they were working with the goal of turning Bihar into an Islamic State. Narendra Modi ordered raids across 100 locations in one day and put PFI members behind bars. People of Begusarai, tell me — do you want to free the PFI members from jail? This PFI was an organisation that spread riots, disturbed the peace of the country, and engaged in anti-national activities. Modi ji has banned the PFI. Now Lalu is promising to release them. Lalu ji neither will you come to power nor will PFI members be freed from jail? Should the Ram Mandir have been built in Ayodhya or not? For 550 years Babar destroyed the temple, and for 70 years Congress and Lalu kept it stalled. Modi ji performed the Bhoomi Pujan in 2019 and the Pran Pratishtha in 2024, declaring ‘Jai Shri Ram.’ Now, a grand ₹850 crore temple for Mata Sita is being built in Sitamarhi, and we will complete it during our term.”
