Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed multiple election rallies in Bihar's Saharsa, Katihar, Ara, and Nawada on Monday. He launched a sharp attack on the Mahagathbandhan, taking a combined dig at the Congress and the RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal) for stalling Bihar's growth by engaging in appeasement politics, which he claimed was only aimed at protecting infiltrators.
PM Modi further said that Congress has taken a contract to sink the RJD for announcing the CM face at gunpoint, as both were disconnected from the ground as well as Bihar's public, having a taste of development would keep them at bay.
He stated, "The Jungle Raj cannot be hidden, but they are trying to do so. The man who was a former Chief Minister (referring to Lalu Prasad Yadav) has his picture missing or almost lost in the poster, which requires binoculars to detect. What is that sin that is preventing him (Tejaswi Yadav) from giving a picture of his father? The Congress has been almost removed from the posters. These days, you may also be noticing that even Congress members don't believe the promises and declarations RJD leaders are making, and pass on the questions on their manifesto to the prince of Jungle Raj. Both RJD and the Congress are at loggerheads."
Adding, "They (Congress-RJD) are pushing Bihar towards danger by taking sides with the infiltrators for votes. They are playing with the future of your children and daughters. Should infiltrators be allowed to avail free ration card or free medical aid? The RJD used to make light of the demands for roads, electricity, and flood protection, and made development a monster to rule, which led to backwardness in Katihar. It was a shunting posting for officers, but NDA changed all that when you gave me the opportunity. Purnea has an airport, while Katihar is connected with highways."
PM Modi further added, "The Congress knows that if the RJD loses this time too, its political career will be over, and Congress will capture the RJD's vote bank. This tussle to seize each other's vote bank is now out in the open. You will see how, after the Bihar election defeat, their feud will take an ugly turn."
He said that both RJD and Congress were against assistance to women and tried to stop any kind of aid provided to them. Adding, "NDA is identified with development, while RJD-Congress is identified with destruction."
The PM also highlighted that Congress leaders have all the time to travel the world, but haven't visited the Ram temple yet, saying, "There's a temple built there for the Nishad Raj. There's also a temple for Lord Valmiki in Ayodhya. There's also a temple for Shabari Mata in Ayodhya. If you have a problem with Ram, at least bow your head at the feet of Nishad Raj. Why are you ashamed of that? They won't go."
He further underlined the "insult of Chhath" at Saharsa and Katihar, with words like Katta, cruelty, bitterness, bad manners, bad governance, and corruption, only existing in their dictionary.
