Union Home Minister Amit Shah Friday said Bihar will celebrate “real Diwali” on November 14, when the RJD and its alliance partners face a humiliating defeat in the Assembly polls.

Shah, addressing a rally in Bihar’s Siwan district, slammed the Lalu Prasad-led party for fielding Osama Shahab, the son of gangster-turned-politician Mohammad Shahabuddin.

“People here must ensure that Shahabuddin’s son, contesting from the Raghunathpur seat, faces a humiliating defeat in the assembly polls. The ‘jungle raj’ of Lalu Prasad and Rabri Devi has been endured by the people of Siwan for at least 20 years… I am confident that people of Bihar will celebrate real Diwali on November 14, when the poll results will be announced. RJD and its alliance partners will witness a humiliating defeat,” he said.
