Patna, October 23 (IANS) Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the opposition in Bihar and said the people of the state will not forget the era of Jungle Raj for the next 100 years.
He said that no matter how much the opposition tries to hide its past mistakes, the public will never forgive them.
The Prime Minister’s comments came on a day when the Grand Alliance declared Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
PM Modi termed the opposition grouping as “Lathbandhan” and not “grand alliance” and said almost all its key leaders – from Delhi to Bihar – are out on bail.
Addressing BJP workers during the “Mera Booth Sabse Shakti Yuva Samvad” program through audio conferencing, the Prime Minister urged them to remind the youth of Bihar about the dark days of Jungle Raj.
PM Modi said, “Gather the youth at every booth and invite the elders of the area to share stories of the atrocities that happened during that era. The people of Bihar should never forget those days.”
Highlighting the progress made under the NDA, the Prime Minister said that Bihar is developing rapidly today due to stable governments both at the Center and in the state.
“Hospitals are being built, schools are being built and new railway lines are being laid. This progress is the result of stability and good governance,” he said.
PM Modi said that the youth of Bihar are now confident and optimistic about the future of the state, adding that Bihar has gained momentum under the NDA.
He said, “This election will write a new chapter in the history of Bihar, in which the youth will play a decisive role.” He urged them to go door-to-door and encourage voter participation.
Concluding his address, the Prime Minister expressed confidence that a new era of women empowerment will begin in Bihar on November 14, when the BJP-led NDA returns to power.
