Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday continued his attack on the RJD-Congress combine in Bihar, as voting began for the first phase of the election in Bihar. The PM accused the parties of having a soft corner for infiltrators and dislike for Lord Ram and Chhathi Maiya because of vote bank politics.
Addressing back-to-back rallies in Bhagalpur and Araria districts, the PM also alleged that the reluctance of Opposition leaders to visit Ayodhya to have darshan of shrines is indicative of their hatred for Dalits and backward classes.
PM Modi reiterated that kata (country-made weapons), kroorta (cruelty), katuta (bitterness), kushasan (misgovernance), and corruption were the hallmarks of the 15-year-long jungle raj. “In the curriculum of RJD, ‘a’ stands for apharan (kidnapping), ‘f’ for firauti (ransom), and ‘p’ for parivarvaad (dynasty rule),” he added.
“Bihar saw zero development during the 15 years of jungle raj. No highways and bridges were built, nor any centres of higher learning were set up. The NDA under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has worked very hard to bring the State out of that era,” he said.
“Today, Bihar has so many expressways, bridges over rivers, as many as four central universities, and other centres of higher learning. Only the NDA can ensure that this journey towards growth continues uninterrupted,” the PM added.
PM Modi said the NDA faces a big challenge on this journey of growth, which is the menace of infiltration.
“The NDA is committed to driving out each and every infiltrator from the country. But the Congress-RJD offer them protection, take out political yatras in their favour and come up with misleading narratives,” alleged the PM in an indirect reference to Leader of the Opposition Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ and allegations of “vote theft.”
