Waqf Act Row Ignites Bihar Polls: Shah Slams Tejashwi's 'Jungle Raj' Promise

The political battle for Bihar intensifies as Home Minister Amit Shah and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav trade blows over the Waqf Amendment Act and the legacy of 'Jungle Raj'. Shah caustically remarked on the opposition's promises, stating, 'ye to kaisa hai bhaiya 100 chue khakar billi hajj karne chali aisi baat hai'. With assembly elections looming, Tejashwi Yadav has promised that if his party forms the government, the controversial Waqf Amendment Act will be thrown into the 'dustbin'. In response, senior BJP leaders, including Union Minister Kiran Rijiju and Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, have lambasted the RJD. They label the promise a gimmick to mislead voters, questioning RJD's legislative capacity to overturn a central law and warning that this rhetoric signals a return to the 'Jungle Raj' era.
