Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (October 23) said “Jungle Raj” in Bihar will be discussed for the next 100 years and no matter how much the opposition tries to hide its misdeeds, people will not forgive it.

Taking a dig at the RJD-Congress alliance on the day Tejashwi Yadav was declared the grand alliance’s chief ministerial candidate for the upcoming Bihar elections, Modi said the opposition alliance is not an “alliance” but a “lathbandhan” (alliance of criminals) as all the leaders from Delhi and Bihar are out on bail.

Modi asked Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) workers to ensure that elders educate the youth about the atrocities committed during “Jungle Raj”, an apparent reference to the time when Bihar was under RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s rule.

Addressing the program “Mera Booth Sabse Strongest: Yuva Samvad” through audio-conferencing, the Prime Minister said that people will not forget “Jungle Raj” in Bihar for the next 100 years and no matter how much the opposition tries to hide its misdeeds, people will not forgive it.

He said, “I would ask all the youth of Bihar to gather all the youth at every booth and call the elderly people of that area and tell everyone about the old stories of Jungle Raj.”

Talking to a BJP worker, Modi said that the Mahayagya of development is going on in the country, due to the stable government at the Center and Bihar, all-round work is being done.

He said, “Work is being done in every direction, in every sector in Bihar. Hospitals are being built, good schools are being established and new railway routes are being developed. A big reason for this is that there is a stable government in the country and Bihar. When there is stability, development accelerates. This is also the strength of the NDA government of Bihar.”

“That is why youngsters in Bihar are saying with enthusiasm – ‘Raftaar pakad chuka Bihar, phir se NDA sarkar’,” the prime minister said.

He said that Bihar Assembly elections are going to write a new chapter in the history of the state and the youth will play an important role in it.

Voting will be held in two phases in Bihar on 6 and 11 November. Counting of votes will take place on November 14.

The Indian opposition faction on Thursday declared Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate for the Bihar elections.
