Saharsa (Bihar) [India], November 3 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a multi-pronged attack on Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress in poll-bound Bihar, accusing them of undertaking 'political tours to protect infiltrators' and taking 'jungle raj' jibe at the opposition Mahagathbandhan.

Addressing a rally here, PM Modi alleged that the dictionary of RJD and Congress is filled with words like ''katta', cruelty and corruption'.

'In the dictionary of RJD and Congress. What words, what emotions are there? The dictionary of RJD and Congress is filled with words like 'katta', cruelty, bitterness, bad manners, bad governance, and corruption. This is all they learned in the school of Jungle Raj,' he said.

PM Modi said senior leaders of Congress and RJD have not found time to visit Ram temple in Ayodhya and the city also has temples of Shabari Mata and Nishad Raj.

'These RJD and Congress people travel all over the world. We read about it on social media and feel ashamed, but they don't find time to visit the Ram Temple. 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. They'll travel all over the world. The royal family of Congress, the royal family of RJD, celebrate festivals of the world and enjoy celebrating foreign festivals. But what do these people say when it comes to the Chhath festival? They say that these people are all just staging a drama,' PM Modi said.

There were visuals recently of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav celebrating Halloween festival with grandchildren of his family. Yadav's daughter, Rohini Acharya, posted visuals of her children in Halloween costumes on social media on Friday. Yadav was seen posing with his grandchildren.

PM Modi spoke of efforts of NDA government towards women's empowerment and cautioned people, including youth, against 'jungle raj'.

'I would also like to tell every sister and daughter of Bihar to be vigilant. These Jungle Raj people want to stop any such aid being offered to you. Whether it's RJD or Congress, they have no connection with development. 'NDA ki pehchan Vikas se hai aur RJD and Congress ki pehchan Vinash hain,'' he said.

'Your parents witnessed a time when even our protectors were not safe. The lives of the police themselves were in danger. Let me remind you of an incident right here in Saharsa. Our brave DSP of Saharsa, Satyapal Singh, was taking action against the Jungle Raj people. This did not go down well with the RJD bosses in Patna, the Jungle Raj supporters...In Jungle Raj, everyone's life was in danger. Every officer, every contractor, every businessman lived in fear. As a result, development stalled here. Nitish Kumar's government has ended Jungle Raj and transformed Bihar into a state of good governance,' he added.

He also targeted Congress and said its people are making promises which have been fulfilled.

'When the Congress and RJD governments were in power at the Centre for 10 years, they still said they would build a university in Nalanda. They gave only 20 crore rupees for the university and then forgot about it. Amount of Rs 20 crore cannot build a school in a village. When you gave me the opportunity to serve you in 2014, when our government came to power, we launched a campaign to restore the glory of Nalanda. With all our heart and hard work, we allocated over 2,000 crore rupees to the university in 10 years... Today, we have built a magnificent campus for Nalanda University. Today, I proudly say that students from more than 21 countries are studying at Nalanda University,' he said.

PM Modi said Bihar needs to be protected from infiltrators and accused Congress and RJD of protecting them.

'Be it Congress or RJD, they are only attached to infiltrators. These people undertake political tours to protect infiltrators. Tell me, will you decide Bihar's future or will the infiltrators decide?... These infiltrators are occupying your property, staking their claim on your resources... Bihar needs to be protected from infiltrators...We are working to remove these infiltrators,' he said.

Bihar will go to the polls on November 6 and 11 and the results will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
