In a powerful election rally held in Imamganj, Gaya, on November 3, 2025, Chirag Paswan, president of the Lok Janshakti Party (R), urged voters to support Deepa Manjhi, the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) candidate backed by the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). The rally, which took place at the Roshanganj playground, saw Paswan emphasize the importance of maintaining unity within the NDA. He also took aim at the government’s performance, challenging the narratives presented by the opposition.
Paswan began his speech by addressing the rumors spread by the opposition about a rift between the LJP and HAM. He assured the crowd that the NDA remained fully united. He referred to Deepa Manjhi as “our sister-in-law,” explaining that in their society, a sister-in-law is regarded as a mother. “If you vote for Deepa Manjhi, you’re voting for my mother,” Paswan declared, reinforcing the strong bond within the NDA family. He made it clear that any claims of discord within the alliance were nothing more than baseless rumors.
Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Call for Law and Order in Bihar
Jitan Ram Manjhi, the national patron of Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Union minister, also spoke at the rally, focusing on the past state of law and order in Imamganj. Manjhi recalled the chaotic and unsafe conditions during the 1990s when no one would dare to step outside after 3 p.m. He highlighted the efforts of the NDA in restoring law and order, emphasizing that during their rule, justice was served fairly. Manjhi also noted that the guilty were punished, and no innocent individuals were wrongfully implicated or released.
Manjhi’s speech served as a reminder of the challenges Bihar had faced in the past and the progress the NDA government had brought in terms of governance and safety. He warned the crowd against supporting opposition parties, which, according to him, were trying to bring back a “jungle raj” or a lawless state.
Opposition’s Attempt to Revert Bihar to Lawlessness
Both leaders spoke in unison, warning that a vote for opposition parties could lead Bihar back to the days of lawlessness and insecurity. Paswan and Manjhi urged the people of Bihar to support the politics of development, emphasizing the need for continued progress and stability in the state. Manjhi appealed to the voters, urging them to reject those who sought to undo the gains made in governance. He asked them to trust in the NDA’s ability to ensure safety, development, and a brighter future for Bihar.
In conclusion, both Paswan and Manjhi urged the people of Imamganj to stay committed to the path of development and to reject forces that wanted to drag Bihar backward. The rally underscored the NDA’s message of unity, progress, and strong governance, calling on voters to place their trust in a leadership that values law and order, safety, and economic development for the state.
