New Delhi, Nov 6 (UNI) On the day of voting in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), recalling its 15-year rule as a period marked by “katta, katuta, krurta, kushasan, kusanskar, and corruption” describing it as Bihar’s “dark era.”
Addressing a public rally in Araria, the Prime Minister urged voters to once again repose faith in the NDA, which has governed Bihar for the past two decades.
“I am telling you about the power of your vote. Your grandparents, maternal grandparents’ one vote had made Bihar the land of social justice. But then, the 90s decade came, and RJD’s jungle raj attacked Bihar. Jungle Raj means – pistol, cruelty, corruption and misgovernance. These became the identity of jungle raj, and this became Bihar’s misfortune. Your parents’ dreams were crushed,” he said.
The Prime Minister praised Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for leading Bihar out of the “dark era,” asserting that the NDA government has accelerated development since 2014.
“Under Nitish ji, Bihar has been pulled out of jungle raj. Since the formation of the double-engine government, Bihar’s progress has gained momentum. IIT has opened in Patna, IIM in Bodh Gaya, AIIMS in Patna, work on AIIMS Darbhanga is progressing fast, a National Law University has been established, IIT has come up in Bhagalpur, and four central universities have also been set up in the state,” Modi said.
Highlighting the government’s stance on internal security, PM Modi said the NDA is “honestly identifying infiltrators” and working to deport them.
“A big challenge before our development efforts is that of infiltrators. The NDA government is working with full sincerity to identify and deport them,” he stated.
Accusing the RJD and Congress of protecting infiltrators, Modi alleged that opposition leaders were spreading lies and organizing rallies to “mislead people.”
“These RJD and Congress people are busy saving infiltrators. They spread falsehoods and conduct political tours to confuse the public,” he said.
After addressing the rally in Araria, the Prime Minister is scheduled to hold another public meeting in Bhagalpur later in the day as part of his campaign for the second phase of the Bihar Assembly elections.
