PM Modi vows to remove infiltrators, slams Congress-RJD for shielding them
PM Modi’s Bold Promise in Bihar: Every Infiltrator Must Leave
Modi’s Guarantee: Action will be taken, Infiltrators Will Be Removed – Prime Minister Narendra Modi made headlines during his recent rally in Purnea, Bihar, with a powerful declaration: “Every infiltrator will have to leave.” Speaking to a large crowd in the Seemanchal region, an area close to the Bangladesh border and known for its demographic sensitivity, Modi accused the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) of protecting illegal infiltrators for vote-bank politics.
“This is Modi’s guarantee,” he said, promising that action would be taken and the entire country, including Bihar, would see the positive results. His speech was not just a campaign message—it was a direct challenge to the Opposition, whom he accused of endangering national security and the cultural identity of eastern India.
Modi’s remarks come ahead of crucial assembly elections, and his focus on infiltration is part of a broader narrative around national security, demographic balance, and governance. He linked the issue to the safety of women, the strain on resources, and the need for a strong, unified India.
Seemanchal and the Infiltration Debate: Why It Matters
Seemanchal, which includes districts like Purnea, Araria, and Kishanganj, has long been a politically sensitive region. It borders Bangladesh and has a high concentration of minority populations. Over the years, concerns have grown about illegal immigration, especially from Bangladesh and Myanmar (Rohingya), which some claim has led to demographic shifts and pressure on local infrastructure.
Modi highlighted these concerns, stating that people in Bihar, Bengal, and Assam are worried about the safety of their sisters and daughters due to unchecked infiltration. He also pointed to irregularities in Aadhar card registrations, with some districts showing over 108% enrolment, suggesting more cards than actual residents.
The Prime Minister announced a National Demographic Mission to address these issues, first mentioned during his Independence Day speech. The mission aims to identify and remove illegal infiltrators while preserving the demographic balance of sensitive regions.
Supporters of Modi’s stance argue that infiltration dilutes cultural identity, strains public services, and creates law-and-order problems. Critics, however, accuse the BJP of using the issue to polarize voters and distract from economic challenges like unemployment and inflation.
Political Firestorm: Congress and RJD Push Back
Modi’s speech triggered a strong reaction from the Opposition. Congress leader Udit Raj questioned the timing and sincerity of the promise, asking why the government hadn’t acted earlier if infiltration was such a serious issue. “Is there one more PM in this country? Was he not the Prime Minister until now?” Raj asked, accusing Modi of repeating empty rhetoric before every election.
Congress spokesperson Ragini Nayak echoed these concerns, stating that the BJP only raises the issue of infiltrators during elections and forgets it afterward. She criticized the government for failing to deliver on development promises, such as setting up factories and reviving sugar mills in Bihar.
The RJD, too, responded sharply. Tejashwi Yadav’s ongoing “Bihar Adhikar Yatra” aims to counter the BJP’s narrative by focusing on local governance, unemployment, and social justice. The Opposition claims that the BJP is using infiltration as a distraction from real issues affecting the people of Bihar.
Modi, however, remained firm. He accused the Congress-RJD “ecosystem” of shamelessly taking out yatras to protect infiltrators and warned that the people of Bihar would give a “befitting reply” in the upcoming elections.
Development and Demography: Modi’s Dual Strategy
While infiltration dominated the headlines, Modi also used the rally to showcase his government’s development work in Bihar. He inaugurated the new terminal at Purnea Airport, flagged off multiple train services, and laid the foundation stone for projects worth over ₹40,000 crore.
These include:
- ₹25,000 crore thermal power project in Bhagalpur
- ₹2,680 crore Kosi–Mechi interstate river link project
- ₹603 crore housing project under PM Awas Yojana for 40,920 families
- ₹475 crore National Makhana Board to support farmers in Seemanchal
Modi contrasted these achievements with what he called the “Jungle Raj” of the RJD era, where crime and corruption were rampant. He praised the women of Bihar for keeping the RJD out of power for two decades and said they were now becoming “Lakhpati Didis” and “Drone Didis” under the NDA’s double-engine government.
By combining a strong stance on infiltration with visible development initiatives, Modi is crafting a dual strategy: protect national identity and deliver economic growth. It’s a message aimed at both urban and rural voters, especially in regions where security and livelihood are top concerns.
A High-Stakes Message with National Implications
Prime Minister Modi’s speech in Bihar was more than a campaign rally—it was a declaration of intent. By promising to remove every infiltrator and linking it to national security, demographic balance, and women’s safety, he has placed the issue at the center of the political discourse.
His guarantee, “Action will be taken, and the country will see good results”, is now a benchmark against which his government will be judged. Whether this promise translates into policy or remains a poll-time slogan will depend on the months ahead.
For voters in Bihar and beyond, the message is clear: infiltration is not just a border issue, it’s a question of identity, governance, and future stability. And Modi is betting that his guarantee will resonate louder than the Opposition’s criticism.
