Patna: Former law minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah does not need a passport from Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar or Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to come to Bihar. Notably, Shah is scheduled to attend a rally in Bihar's Purnea district on Friday and in the Kishanganj district on Saturday.

There has been a claim made by both the Janata Dal (United) and the RJD that Shah is coming to Bihar to disturb communal harmony in the state.

"The leaders of Mahagathbandhan are feeling uneasy. They are asking questions about why Amit Shah is coming to Bihar. Amit Shah does not require to give any clarification to the leaders of Mahagathbandhan. Bihar is an integral part of the country and any person including Union Home Minister does not require any permission or passport from anyone to visit here," Prasad said.

The former law minister added: "Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad came together only for political benefits. They have compromised on corruption and cheated the mandate of the people of Bihar. Amit Shah is coming here to point out this issue. The people of the country will elect Narendra Modi again in 2024 and BJP will form the government in Bihar in 2025 on its own."

In response to Shah's rallies, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said: "Everyone knows the motive of Amit Shah's visit to Bihar. He is coming here to create communal tension, and talk about useless and meaningless things."

"The Narendra Modi government at the Centre has not fulfilled any of its promises. He (Shah) is not coming to announce a special package for Bihar. The Narendra Modi government forgot its poll promise of two crore jobs every year. It has cheated people of the country and Amit Shah is coming here to mislead the people of Bihar," added Tejashwi.
