Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed two public rallies at Sasaram and Aurangabad and promised people that he would change the fate of the state if they vote for the NDA in the Bihar Assembly polls.

Modi attacked Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad and Sonia Gandhi for not giving an account of their performance of their 60 years’ rule in the state and said they had nothing else to speak except abusing him during campaigning.

The PM told the gathering, “You gave 60 years to the allies of the grand alliance, but they did nothing. I urge you to give 60 months we will change the fate the state.”

Raising the “Jungle Raj” pitch, Modi warned that Lalu Prasad would “remote control” the affairs in Bihar and “kidnapping” would be the only industry that would flourish if the grand alliance came to power.

Modi promised that he would submit the accounts of his five-year work before asking people to vote in 2019.

Attacking Kumar on his promise of ushering in good governance, the PM reeled out figures of crime in the state ever since the JD (U) leader joined hands with the RJD.

He recalled that ASP Rakesh Kumar and his bodyguard Suresh Kumar were injured last night when two motorcycle-borne criminals fired bullets on them as they were chasing them.

“If a police officer is not safe. How can a common man be? This kind of jungle raj has already come when they have just come together. What will be the fate of Bihar if you commit the mistake of voting for them,” he said.
