Amit Shah Warns of 'Jungleraj' Return Under RJD

Earlier today, Union Home Minister Amit Shah launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal, asserting that if Lalu Yadav's son Tejashwi Yadav manages to become Chief Minister it will mean that three new ministeries - of kidnapping, extortion, and promoting abduction and bloodshed will open up in the State.

Addressing a public rally in Muzaffarpur, Shah recalled that the murder of G Krishnaiah, who was the District Magistrate of Gopalganj in Bihar, by a mob in 1994, highlighted the "jungleraj" under the Lalu Prasad Yadav regime. "During Lalu-Rabri's administration, here in Gopalganj, the DM Krishnaiah was beaten to death; if Lalu's son becomes CM again, then three ministries will be created in Bihar: one to run the kidnapping industry, a second to collect extortion, and a third to promote abduction and bloodshed," Shah said.
