-

GAYA (BIHAR): Launching a blistering attack on the opposition bloc INDIA, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said this election is to punish those who are against India’s Constituti­on and opposing the Centre’s efforts to make the country a ‘developed India’.

He also accused the opposition leaders, including those of the RJD and the Congress, of playing politics with the Constituti­on. Speaking at an election rally in Bihar’s Gaya district, the PM said, “This election is only to punish ‘Ghamandia’ (arrogant) alliance leaders. It is to punish those who are against the Constituti­on and opposing the Centre’s initiative­s to make India a ‘Viksit Bharat’.”

Bihar’s former chief minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) founder Jitan Ram Manjhi

is contesting from Gaya as an NDA nominee.

“The Congress and its partners are resorting to lies in the name of the Constituti­on just to abuse me. The NDA respects the Constituti­on…even Babasaheb Ambedkar can’t change this... The Constituti­on, given by Babasaheb and Dr Rajendra Prasad, has made me the PM. I come from a poor family...,” he said.

He alleged that the opposition leaders are against the celebratio­n of Constituti­on Day.

“They (opposition leaders) are playing politics with the Constituti­on. For us, the Constituti­on is a matter of ‘aastha’. People of the country have decided to give NDA 400 plus seats this time,” he said.

He also claimed that the “Congress has lost the opportunit­y to make India a ‘Samridh Bharat’ (developed India)”.

“The Congress and RJD only played politics in the name of social justice. In the last 10 years, the country witnessed a revolution and the overall developmen­t of women...Ten crore women in the country joined self-help groups and of them, 1.25 crore are in Bihar,” he said. “Vikas and Virasaat (heritage) both are in NDA’s agenda,” he said, adding, “We will take India’s heritage to the world, which will benefit Gaya”.

He also said, “They call Santana dharma dengue and malaria. They don’t deserve even a single seat...they must be punished.”

“The RJD has given only two things to Bihar--jungle raj and corruption...Corruption flourished like an industry during the RJD regime,” he added.
