As poll day has almost arrived the election campaign in Bihar is getting new twists. On Tuesday the union minister Anurag Thakur borrowed from Sholey its famous dialogue.
Thakur used the iconic ‘so ja bete nahi to Gabbar Singh aa jayega’ dialogue of the 1975 Bollywood blockbuster ‘Sholay’ to warn people against Bihar’s return to ‘jungle raj’ if the RJD was voted to power, a new agency reported.
“Do they (the opposition alliance) want to bring the jungle raj days back in Bihar?” Thakur asked, urging people to vote for the BJP-led NDA government.
Thakur, had made headlines in February also for allegedly making hate speeches prior to the Delhi violence, urged Bihar voters to be wary of “those who believe in perpetrating massacres” and wanted to push the state back to an era of caste tension and social discrimination.

Mothers who have seen the jungle raj days in Bihar please tell your children, especially the youth, to cast votes carefully on polling day… otherwise they (the opposition RJD), who ran a regime of terror and fear, may return to power,” Thakur was quoted as saying by the news agency.
In the film Gabbar Singh (played by Amjad Khan) voices this dialogue as a cautionary tale to those who dared to oppose him.
Thakur today lashed out at the opposition’s grand alliance, describing them as “depressed and confused” and pointing to violent caste-based clashes and killings in 2005, the year the RJD slipped from power after a fractured verdict in the first round of elections.
