PM Modi Celebrates Record Voter Turnout in Bihar as Sign of NDA Support in Elections

Prime Minister Narendra Modi today highlighted the unprecedented voter turnout during Bihar's Phase 1 polling, stating it demonstrates the public's clear intention to bring back the NDA government. The first phase, covering 121 seats, recorded a historic 64.66% turnout - the highest in Bihar's electoral history.

Speaking at an Aurangabad rally, Modi emphasized, "Bihar witnessed the highest voter turnout ever. Nearly 65 percent voter turnout was recorded in the first phase. This shows the people of Bihar have taken the lead in securing the return of the NDA government."

The Prime Minister launched a strong critique of the opposition, declaring that the first phase results clearly indicate Biharis' rejection of 'jungle raj' governance.

"Even the Congress does not have faith in their (RJD) promises. Congress does not even talk about the RJD's manifesto. Bihar has also rejected RJD's package of lies. The voters of Bihar trust Narendra-Nitish's track record and support our strong intentions. It is confirmed from the first phase of the polls, 'Phir ek baar, NDA sarkar'," Modi stated.

The Prime Minister also highlighted the peaceful voting atmosphere during yesterday's polls, presenting it as a stark contrast between good governance and jungle raj.

"We saw the difference between Sushasan and Jungle Raj. Yesterday, every section of Bihar voted without any hindrance. There was a time of jungle raj when booths were looted, bullets were fired on polling days, there were bomb blasts, and the voice of the Dalits and the backward classes was suppressed. The people of Jungle Raj are still trying a lot, but I praise the Election Commission for concluding the first phase in such a good manner," he remarked.

Bihar's second phase of polling is scheduled for next Tuesday.
