Amid the ongoing debate surrounding the revision of the Bihar electoral list, Union Minister Kiren Rijiju has ignited a political firestorm with a tweet targeting the Congress party. Posting an intriguing video clip, Rijiju slammed the opposition for allegedly supporting illegal infiltrators, drawing historical parallels and questioning their motives. 

अवैध घुसपैठियों को कांग्रेस पार्टी का समर्थन देखकर मुझे यह दृश्य याद आ रहा है।
Mistakes committed more than 2000 years back. We can't allow illegal migrants in our voter list. pic.twitter.com/Rx4ikAXQkb

Rijiju's Strong Words Spark Debate

In his tweet, Rijiju remarked:

“अवैध घुसपैठियों को कांग्रेस पार्टी का समर्थन देखकर मुझे यह दृश्य याद आ रहा है। Mistakes committed more than 2000 years back. We can't allow illegal migrants in our voter list.”

While he didn’t directly name any community or the clip’s reference, many on social media inferred it as a veiled criticism of the Congress's alleged appeasement politics. Rijiju’s comparison to historical errors “committed over 2000 years ago” added a dramatic edge, fueling speculation and interpretation among netizens.

Bihar Voter List Row

The controversy centers around recent revisions to Bihar’s electoral rolls, with opposition leaders accusing the ruling NDA of attempting to suppress certain demographics. The NDA, in turn, claims these actions are necessary to prevent illegal migrants from influencing the electoral process, especially with the 2025 state elections approaching.

Rijiju's statement echoes the BJP's broader national stance on illegal immigration, which has become a flashpoint in states like Assam, West Bengal, and now Bihar.

Political observers say the rhetoric is likely to intensify as voter verification drives continue across sensitive districts. With the Congress and BJP now embroiled in a war of words, the issue of electoral integrity and migration may become a key battleground in upcoming polls.
