PM Modi's Launches BIG 'Jungle Raj' Attack On Congress & RJD Ahead Of Bihar Polls (VIDEO)

Siwan: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday launched a scathing attack on Opposition parties, Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), in Bihar. Addressing a rally in Bihar's Siwan district, PM Modi said that both these parties had brought a "jungle raj (state of lawlessness)" in the state when they were in power.

"The 'panja' (the symbol of the Congress) and 'lantern' (the symbol of the RJD) people together have hurt the pride of Bihar. They looted so much that poverty became Bihar's misfortune... But Modi is not the one who becomes quiet after doing so much work. I have to do a lot more for Bihar. Those who brought 'jungle raj' to Bihar are looking for an opportunity to repeat their old deeds somehow," PM Modi said while taking a dig at the Congress and the RJD ahead of Bihar Assembly Elections.

The Prime Minister said that the people of Bihar have to be very cautious about the future of their children. He said that the Congress and the RJD used to raise slogans about removing poverty, but it was only the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) that made it possible.

"You have to be very cautious for the bright future of your children. People who are ready to put the brake on the journey towards a prosperous Bihar have to be kept at bay... These people used to raise slogans of 'gareebi hatao'. But the NDA government made it possible after you voted for us," the Prime Minister said.

PM Modi also hit out at RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav over a video allegedly showing him having a portrait of Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar placed close to his feet. The Prime Minister accused the RJD chief of disrespecting Dr Ambedkar.
