Mahadangal: Opposition criticized by PM Modi for protecting infiltrators ahead of Bihar polls | ABP NEWS

Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the opposition during his speech in Purnia, Bihar, accusing the Congress and RJD of protecting illegal infiltrators for vote-bank politics. “As long as Modi is alive, no infiltrator will be allowed to snatch the rights of Indian citizens,” he said, defending his government’s push for NRC and CAA. He claimed these infiltrators are changing the demographics in border regions like Seemanchal and must be identified and removed. BJP spokespersons echoed this sentiment, promising NRC implementation once constitutional clearance is obtained. Meanwhile, opposition leaders countered aggressively, accusing BJP of diverting attention from real issues like unemployment, migration, paper leaks, and Bihar’s poor per capita income. Citing data, opposition speakers highlighted Bihar’s rank at the bottom in education and income, questioning where funds have gone despite claims of development. They accused BJP of religious polarization and using infiltrators as a distraction from failures in governance. The debate reflects how the upcoming Bihar elections are set to revolve not just around development, but identity politics, migration, and national security narratives. As the rhetoric escalates, both sides are sharpening their weapons in what is clearly a high-stakes battle.
