In Patna, PM woos youth with jobs, questions if 'jungle raj ka yuvraj' can generate IT jobs

New Delhi, October 28

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, in his election rally in Patna, on Wednesday said good governance and growth were a continuous process and only NDA could “fulfil” the “aspirations” of people of Bihar.

He said Bihar faces two challenges, "one from coronavirus and second from those trying to make it sick again”. 

“Your one vote for NDA can save Bihar from becoming bimar (sick)... When I say NDA, it means four parties, BJP, JD-U, HAM(S) and VIP,” he said while seeking votes for the alliance.

Listing achievements of the NDA government, Modi said the days of darkness of “lalten” (RJD's symbol) were over. "Can people who only thought about themselves fulfil aspirations of people," he questioned.

"Bihar will be the biggest beneficiary of Mission Dolphin. Today people want modem airports… they want river fronts, metros, passport centres in all cities... There will be an IT hub in Patna, other cities... Only NDA can fulfil these aspirations," he said, promising new opportunities for youth.

"NDA is creating jobs through reform, could Bihar dream of IT hubs in jungle raj. Can 'yuvraj of jungle raj' take the state forward in IT, people very well know answer to this," he said in an all-out attack against Tejashwi Yadav.

Earlier, in his election rally at Darbhanga Modi evoked the Ram Temple issue in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh to congratulate people belonging to Sita's land – Sitamarhi in Mithilanchal.

The construction of Ram Temple has started, he said, quoting it as an example of NDA's commitment.

Bihar votes for 71 Assembly constituencies across 16 districts in Phase-1 of the elections on Wednesday.

Meanwhile, cautioning people against 'jungle raj ka yuvraj', in his second rally in Muzaffarpur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said the people of Bihar needed a stable government in difficult times of coronavirus.

"These are not the times to do 'hawa hawai baten' (talk in air). Consider what would happen if those who promote 'jungle raj' come to rule Bihar amid this pandemic, it will be a 'dohri maar' (double whammy) on people of Bihar," said the Prime Minister.

"What can people of Bihar expect from 'jungle raj ke Yuvraj'... people here know these people well," he said attacking Tejashwi Yadav.

"Those who gave Bihar 'kushasan', 'arajakta', unemployment are looking for another opportunity… Those who gave Bihar migration, usurped people's money for their own family are promising employment to people... Those who have copyright on extortion and criminal activities are seeking votes… They have neither the experience nor the roadmap," he said.
