Lalu, Rabri are the ‘biggest offenders’ of Bihar: Modi
In a scathing attack on former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called them “the biggest offenders” of the State.
He also took a dig at the Indian National Development, Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) for perpetuating “dynasty rule” and “corruption”.
The Prime Minister pointed out that after Independence, Bihar had been grappling with the migration of its youth.
“When the Jungle Raj government was formed in Bihar, the migration increased manifold. People who brought about Jungle Raj were only bothered about their own family and put the future of lakhs of youth at stake. Bihar’s youth kept moving to the other States in search of livelihood and only one family thrived,” Mr. Modi said while addressing a rally at Bettiah in West Champaran district of Bihar.
He also referred to the landforjobs scam case, in which Mr. Prasad and his family members have been questioned by the Central agencies, and asked the people if “such a family could be forgiven”.
“Land was captured under the pretext of giving jobs. Can any human being forgive such people who grabbed land? The family which brought in Jungle Raj is the biggest offender of Bihar. The NDA government has protected Bihar from Jungle Raj and is promoting development,” Mr. Modi said.
Mr. Modi added that the NDA had been making all attempts to ensure that the youth of Bihar got employment in their own State.
Attacking the INDIA bloc, Mr. Modi said the NDA government was trying to make people selfdependent in electricity through solar power but the INDIA bloc still wanted people to live by the light of a lalten (hurricane lamp, symbol of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the party of Mr. Prasad and Ms. Rabri).
