Amit Shah Issues Strong Warning to Pakistan-Sponsored Terrorists at Bihar Rally

Union Home Minister Amit Shah issued a resounding warning to Pakistan-backed terrorists on November 4, 2025, during an election rally in Madhubani, declaring that any future attacks on India would elicit a disproportionate response: "Goli ka jawab goley se diya jaega" (cannons for bullets). Addressing a fervent crowd amid the final push for Bihar's assembly polls, Shah invoked the recent Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Anantnag district on April 22, where militants from The Resistance Front—a Lashkar-e-Taiba offshoot—killed 26 civilians, mostly Hindu tourists, by selectively targeting married men and wiping sindoor from widows' foreheads. He credited Prime Minister Narendra Modi's swift Operation Sindoor—launched on May 7 with missile strikes on nine terror camps in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir—for neutralising perpetrators on enemy soil within 20 days, contrasting it with past Congress-led governments' alleged leniency toward militants.

Shah linked national security to Bihar's development, announcing that explosives produced in a proposed defence corridor would arm India's retaliation against cross-border threats, positioning the state as a hub for self-reliant manufacturing. This pledge forms part of the NDA's expansive manifesto for the November 6 and 11 elections, including factories in every district, MSME parks, and Rs 50 lakh crore in backend infrastructure to transform Bihar into a digital processing powerhouse. With polling imminent in 121 seats for the first phase, Shah exuded confidence in securing over 160 seats, ensuring Nitish Kumar's continued leadership and sidelining the RJD-Congress "Mahagathbandhan" by results day, November 14.

Turning fire on the opposition, Shah lambasted RJD chief Lalu Prasad and son Tejashwi Yadav for glorifying late gangster-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin—infamous for Siwan's reign of terror during RJD's 15-year "jungle raj"—through slogans like "Shahabuddin amar rahe." He accused them of yearning for anarchy's return, vowing Bihar's voters would reject it by pressing the BJP's lotus symbol on EVMs. Shah also dismissed RJD's Election Commission complaint against Rs 10,000 transfers to 'Jeevika Didis' in self-help groups, asserting "three generations of Lalu" couldn't reverse the empowerment funds.

The rhetoric underscores the NDA's strategy to blend security bravado with welfare and infrastructure lures—such as flood-mitigation commissions for perennial rivers like Koshi and Ganga, Vande Bharat links to Ayodhya, and AIIMS expansions—against the Mahagathbandhan's focus on caste census and youth jobs. As campaigning halts Tuesday evening, Shah's address in this BJP stronghold amplifies the alliance's narrative of progress over past disorder, with over 7 crore voters poised to decide Bihar's fate in a contest pivotal to national coalitions
