Congress Slams Amit Shah’s 160-Seat Target in Bihar
Patna | September 2025 —
Political temperatures soared in Bihar after Union Home Minister Amit Shah declared a 160-seat target for the NDA alliance in the upcoming state elections. The Congress party swiftly responded, accusing Shah of relying on “vote chori” (vote theft) and “vote revdi” (freebie politics) to sway the electorate.
Congress leaders claimed that the BJP’s strategy hinges on manipulative tactics, including digital voter profiling and selective welfare schemes. They also criticized the timing of Shah’s announcement, calling it a distraction from rising unemployment and agrarian distress.
“This isn’t a roadmap—it’s a smokescreen,” said a senior Congress spokesperson. “Bihar deserves jobs and justice, not electoral gimmicks.”
The war of words comes amid shifting alliances and voter sentiment in key districts like Gaya, Muzaffarpur, and Bhagalpur. Analysts predict a fiercely contested election, with youth and farmers playing decisive roles.
