were a legacy of bad governance that the RJD government in undivided Bihar had left
behind. The people of Jharkhand also know that the BJP is the only party that is both
firmly committed to, and is fully capable of, harmonising the interests of both tribals and
non-tribals in the state. We should impress upon the people that the difficult work of
repairing the damage done by the previous government needs five more years of BJP
rule to yield the desired results. We should especially caution them that a mandate to our
adversaries would be an invitation to a reign of terror, social strife, criminalization of
governance and unlimited corruption.
Liberate Bihar from the reign of Asuri (evil) forces
I would like to dwell at some length on Bihar, where the battle lines are clearly drawn
and the bugle will be sounded at a massive rally in Patna on December 2.
This battle is not only for unseating an incumbent government that belongs to an
opposition party. It is actually for emancipating Bihar from 15 years of jungle raj, the
kind of which no state in the country has ever seen. The Rashtriya Janata Dal, which now
has the Congress as its partner, has impoverished the state, criminalised politics and
governance, and made corruption its creed. In a bizarre act of perversion, its leader has
sowed the poisonous seeds of casteism and communalism while masquerading himself as
a defender of secularism and social justice. The strangest part of it all is that he is the
darling of the entire pseudo-secular brigade.
I charge the Congress party, the communists and all those who support the RJD with
being willing partners in the crime of pauperising Bihar, of reducing this rich and cultured
state to such a helpless condition that no section of Bihari population -- poor, rich,
students, teachers, industrial and agricultural workers, traders, professionals -- see any
hope of a bright future for themselves in their own state. Worse, they do not even feel
safe in their own state, such being the reign of terror, crime and lawlessness unleashed
by the RJD. As a result, the largest stream of internal migration in India today is that of
the proud but helpless people of Bihar.
The BJP charges the RJD and all its supporters of being assaulters on Bihari Pride, a pride
that is rooted in the state's hoary past, in the glorious role it played in the Freedom
Movement, in its having been one of the best managed and most richly endowed states
in the initial decades of Independence, and in the contribution that its idealistic youth and
students made to the defence of democracy under the inspiring leadership of JP.
Friends, the RJD leadership is spreading the self-serving myth that their party is
unassailable and is going to win Bihar for another five years. Its calculation is that, in the
conditions of mafia-induced fear that prevails in the state, spreading such a myth would
prompt the people not to vote for the BJP-JD(U) alliance. We shall puncture this balloon
of the RJD's invincibility right at the outset of our campaign. We'll tell the people of
Bihar:
"Have no fear. Our alliance is the real and the only alternative, which it is capable of
liberating Bihar from the Asuri Shakti (evil force) that has captured your state. Our
alliance is also capable of building a New and Proud Bihar in which every citizen
belonging to every caste and community will feel justice done to them, and in which
Bihar will be brought back to the track of rapid and all-round development, to occupy its
rightful place in the march of a prosperous and strong India."
Haryana: In Haryana, our Party has decided to contest the elections on its own. The
incumbent government and the ruling party have done little, either by way of
performance or by their relations with the BJP, to create a conducive atmosphere for a
united contest against the Congress party. In Haryana our primary objective will be to
