PM Modi campaigns in Bihar’s Aurangabad
November 07, 2025
Record turnout in first phase shows Bihar has decided to retain the NDA government: PM Modi in Aurangabad rally
'Phir ek baar, NDA sarkar... Bihar mein phir se Sushasan sarkar...': PM Modi in Aurangabad
‘I do what I say’: PM Modi cites Ram Temple, Abrogation of Article 370 and Operation Sindoor as proof of NDA’s commitment

Continuing his high-voltage election campaign, PM Modi today addressed a massive public meeting in Aurangabad. He said that Bihar has created history in the very first phase of voting. The PM noted that yesterday’s polling has recorded the highest turnout ever in Bihar, with nearly 65% of voters participating. He remarked that this clearly shows that the people of Bihar themselves have taken the lead in ensuring the return of the NDA government.

PM Modi stated that the message from the first phase is crystal clear: Bihar will not allow the return of Jungle Raj. He said the youth of Bihar is not getting trapped in the false promises of RJD. Instead, they are placing their trust in the honest intentions and proven governance of the NDA. The Prime Minister added that RJD tried to spread confusion with hollow guarantees, but their claims are so weak that even the Congress does not stand behind them. The people, especially the youth, have rejected RJD’s lies outright.

PM Modi reiterated that the voters of Bihar have confidence in the track record of Narendra and Nitish, and are supporting NDA’s commitment to development, stability, and progress. He said that after the first phase, one thing is certain: “Phir Ek Baar, NDA Sarkar”.

Slamming the Congress, PM Modi reiterated that while soldiers had been demanding One Rank One Pension for four decades, the Congress kept misleading them with false promises. He said Congress showed only ₹500 crore on paper and claimed they would implement OROP, but even then they did not fulfill their promise to ex-servicemen.

PM Modi noted that he had given a clear guarantee to implement OROP, and his government delivered on that commitment. Taking a sharp dig, PM Modi said, “Congress and RJD were lying about ₹500 crore. That is their reality. Their politics stands on deception. We fulfilled what we promised.”

Criticizing the RJD-Congress, PM Modi said that when the NDA promises one crore new jobs, the youth trusts it because lakhs of transparent recruitments have already taken place. But everyone has also seen the track record of RJD-Congress, the same people who took land in exchange for jobs, are under investigation, and are out on bail. Those who ran Jungle Raj and sold jobs, he said, can never provide employment to Bihar’s youth.

PM Modi highlighted the stark difference between Jungle Raj and Sushasan Raj, saying that yesterday, every poor, Dalit, Mahadalit, backward and extremely backward voter cast their vote freely and peacefully. The PM reminded that Bihar has also seen the days of Jungle Raj when booths were looted, bullets were fired, bombs exploded and the voices of the poor and the marginalized were silenced. Today’s peaceful voting, he said, shows the clear change that good governance has brought.

PM Modi underlined that it is the NDA which gave 50% reservation to women in Panchayati Raj institutions and urban bodies, and 35% reservation to women in government jobs. He said the NDA also ensured women’s reservation in the Assembly and Parliament and is creating self-employment opportunities for women across Bihar.

He added that the NDA doesn’t just make announcements, it delivers. Under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana, ₹10,000 each has already been transferred to the accounts of 1.4 crore women, helping them buy sewing machines, start small trades and income activities. This is why women trust that the NDA will continue to support them at every step.

Signing off, PM Modi stated that the Congress and RJD only do politics of insult and abuse, reminding how the Congress’s ‘royal family’ called Chhath Puja a drama and even mocked the Mahakumbh, showing their contempt for the faith of the people. He urged voters to give them a fitting reply on 11th November, adding that NDA is heading towards its biggest victory yet.
