PATNA, Nov. 3 -- Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday claimed that the Congress had been unwilling to accept Tejashwi Yadav as the INDIA bloc's chief ministerial candidate and relented only after the RJD pointed a "katta", an unlicensed country-made gun, at its head. The PM made the statement on the campaign trail in Bihar, where he addressed back-to-back rallies in Bhojpur and Nawada districts, and highlighted the RJD's reputation for alleged strong-arm tactics and its troubled equations with alliance partners. "The Congress never wanted to announce the chief ministerial candidate in favour of the RJD. The RJD secured it by placing a 'katta' on the head of the Congress. They have learnt their lessons in the school of 'jungle raj'. Such elements can never do good for Bihar," he alleged. Modi on Sunday said that the manifesto of the NDA for Bihar is an honest and farsighted blueprint shared with the people for Bihar's growth and prosperity, while on the other hand, the manifesto of Mahagathbandhan is a bundle of lies and deceit. "Ye public hai sab jaanti hai. (The people understand everything). Those who plundered Bihar and pushed it into the dark period of jungle raj, unleashing lawlessness, closing industries like Dalmianagar in Rohtas, which once thrived with sugar, paper and cement units, and forcing migration cannot be trusted to change and usher in development. Before 2005, it was the period of massacres and even doctors had to move with security guards due to fear of abduction, while those getting salary hike shuddered fearing extortion call," he said at separate public meetings in Ara and Nawada Cautioning people against the "dangerous designs" of the Congress and the RJD, the PM said that the Opposition was fragmented ahead of election and comprised the most corrupt family of Bihar and the most corrupt family of India, while all other constituents were ready to only pull one another in different directions. "NDA on the other hand is a cohesive unit bound by a common goal of Bihar's development. Nitish Kunar-led NDA had a tough time pulling the state from the darke period and bring it to a stage where it could take off. There is no room in Bihar for those who epitomised jungle Raj and red flags of Maoist violence. The state now has a chain of big institutions of different streams," he added. Modi said that 'Viksit Bihar' is the foundation of Viksit Bharat and the dreams of the state's youth is the resolve of the NDA. "When I talk about Viksit Bihar, I mean the industrial development of Bihar; the youth of Bihar should get jobs in Bihar. The mood in the state gives ample indication of NDA win in the elections with a record margin, while the leaders of 'Jungle Raaj' will set a record for the most crushing defeat, about which those sitting in Delhi and projecting figures would never have a hang of," he said, telling the people that he had come to seek their support and they should be wary of RJD-Congress combine, "who will only drive away investors". Modi said that it was Modi's guarantee to usher in rapid growth of Bihar with industrial and agriculture growth. "And when Modi gives, it happens, as it happened with abrogation of Article 370 in J&K and Operation Sindoor to enter enemy land to teach them a lesson. While you felt pride, the Congress and the RJD did not like it at all. While blasts took place in Pakistan, the Congress royal family was losing sleep. Till today, both Congress and Pakistan are unable to come out of shock. The Congress still takes out Yatra to protect infiltrators," he added. Reacting on PM Modi's accusation that RJD forced the Congress to declare Opposition leader Tejashwi as CM face of INDIA bloc behind closed doors through "coercive" tactics, RJD's national general secretary and MLC Abdul Bari Siddiqui said that PM Modi talks in a language that does not behove of him as someone holding the top executive post. "It does not behove of PM Modi to speak in this kind of language, which sounds more like that of street goon. He is holding the top executive post of the country," Siddiqui said. Besides, the RJD senior leader asserted that PM Modi was shouldn't be so keen on internal matters of the Opposition and must confine himself to affairs of his own party's alliance. He also questioned PM's silence about killing of Dularcchand Yadav in Mokama while he (PM) raises bogey of RJD's jungle raj so often in his campaign rhetoric....
