’Tired of Abusing Me, Nitish Kumar is Now Cursing Biharis,’ Says PM Modi

Mangalore Today News Network

Gopalganj, Bihar, Oct 30, 2015:  Ahead of the fourth phase of Bihar Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Gopalganj district.

 

Here are the highlights:

   
Starts by invoking local deity "Thave Maai"
   
This election will take NDA’s successful journey forward.
   
I had come to Danapur area of Gopalganj during 2014 elections.
   
You are listening to the indecent statements made by the members of Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). I wonder the people who have ruled Bihar for so many years are making such statements.
   
Why have they stooped to such levels, the reason is not because Modi has made any mistake or done anything wrong
   
It seems your love for Modi prompts them to make such statements
   
The way your love for me is increasing, so are their abuses for me
   
NDA is running a successful election campaign
   
The way the leaders of the Grand Alliance are reacting shows how much popular NDA is among the people
   
Now that you are tired of abusing Modi, you are abusing Biharis
   
They have alleged that people who come in Modi rallies are brought after paying money. Isn’t this an insult to all Biharis? They will pay a price for it
   
Nitish Babu (Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar) call me whatever you want to, but don’t hurt the sentiments of Biharis
   
The swelling crowd here shows the mood of Bihar
   
Bihar is angry because it is asking for the accounts of the work done in the past 25 years, which you are not willing to give
   
Gopalganj is dear to Laluji (RJD chief Lalu Prasad), what did Gopalganj get, didn’t the area became a mini-Chambal
   
Bullets were being fired at railway stations during broad daylight, there was only one industry, kidnapping
   
The maximum migration in Bihar has happened from Siwan and Gopalganj
   
When I went to Abu Dhabi, I met all Indian labourers
   
I asked them where did they come from, most of them were from Bihar in Gopalganj
  
Who compelled the Bihari youth to go outside looking for jobs? Who made Bihari youth outsiders?
   
Our aim is to make sure that people get employment opportunities in the state itself
   
Bada Bhai (Lalu Yadav) and Chhota Bhai (Nitish Kumar) will only do for themselves
   
Bada bhai is busy with his sons and family
   
There is only one way left, that is "Bihar ka Vikas".
   
You had faith in me during 2014 Lok Sabha, do the same now and I will finish bhai-bhatijawad and bhrashtachaar (nepotism and corruption)
   
They have been abusing me but have not made any allegation of corruption against me
   
Did you see what happened on TV? Their colleagues were taking money. Is this correct? But did it make a difference to them
   
Nitish ji, did you build a school at Lalu ji’s home? Isn’t that what you promised, on corruption
   
Do you remember the scams, in every sphere be it transport, ration, education, recruitment, mid day meals etc
   
In all this I am not even talking about the fodder scam that sent the leader to jail. Now do we want more such scams
   
I want to stop the corruption. This election is also to punish those who have looted Bihar
   
Nitish Babu says return me the old days, does he want those days when kidnappings happened, women were not safe, crimes against Dalits happened
   
Then Nitish babu you may want the old day for staying in power, but the people of Bihar don’t want them back
   
I have three-point agenda in Bihar - Padhai (Education), Kamai (Employment) and Dawai (Health)
   
Development is my agenda in Bihar. If there are no industries in Bihar, youth here will not get jobs
   
Without electricity how will industry come? They had promised electricity but what happened
    Bihar needs 24-hour power for industry so that the youth can get jobs
   
A few day ago when I told everyone of their plans on reservation, they are getting upset
   
These leaders want to take away 5 per cent reservation from Dalits, Mahadalits, OBCs and EBCs They want to give this to other community
   
I have documents that on August 24, 2005 in Parliament, Nitish Babu had asked for reservation based on the lines of community
   
Answer me. You make statements and then try to run away
   
I have seen poverty from very close.
   
They say that Modi has changed his profile, earlier he spoke of development, now he talks of his OBC status
   
I want to ask them whether OBCs are not allowed to talk of development?
   
They are so desperate now that they have resorted to Tantriks. You can get a hundred Tantriks but it will not help
   
We have faith in the people of Bihar
   
As voting will start for fourth phase, they will be wiped out from the state
   
I have full faith that you will give us a two-thirds majority in the remaining two phases
