Gaya: Prior to the assembly elections in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed a rally in Gaya on Sunday, saying he could sense change of winds in the political scenario.
Here are the highlights:
-I have a complaint. I came to Gaya, in this venue at that time. It was peak poll season. But today double strength is here.
-Can sense a change of winds in the political scenario.
-People have decided they want to make a strong Bihar and they’ve also taken the decision on Parivartan.
-These elections are about making Bihar free from Jungle Raj and an arrogant government.
-They ruled for twenty five years. If this continues for five years can it be tolerated? Doesn’t Bihar need change?
-What have they done to Bihar… and this is a land that is talked about when we talk of India’s golden past.
-I can clearly see the two decisions made people of Bihar – they want change and be part of the state’s development.
-Why is Bihar not progressing? Who ruined Bihar? Who shattered dreams of people and brought Jungle Raj?
-Now Delhi is with Bihar. We are at your service to change Bihar. I am here to ask you to elect a good government.
-Bihar has contributed the most in the country’s development. We see a Bihari IAS officer in almost every corner of the nation.
-When people of Madhya Pradesh elected a BJP government, see what has happened. Under the chief ministership of Shivraj Singh Chouhan Madhya Pradesh is no longer ‘bimaru’ state.
-Within 5 years, we will ensure that Bihar gets out of the ‘BIMARU’ category,
-If tourism gets a boost then it will help people here. Imagine this land drawing tourists from all over the world.
-I am reiterating what I said last time – RJD means ‘Rozana Jungleraj ka Darr’
-JDU means ‘Janata ka Daman and Utpidan’ (subjugation and torture of people)
-These two Chief Ministers (Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar) kept you in the dark for years.
-Elaborate security arrangements have been made for the high profile ‘parivartan’ rally.
Drones have been put in place for surveillance while over 2,000 police constables and 1,000 magistrates and police officers have been deployed on rally duty.
Meanwhile, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has vowed to organize nine rallies in support of all the three parties constituting the Janata Parivar in Bihar, to give a fitting reply to Prime Minister Modi.
The assembly polls in Bihar would be held most likely in September or October this year.
The BJP, which along with its allies had won 31 of the 40 seats in Bihar in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls, is set for a battle against a united Janata Parivar comprising of the JD (U) and RJD.
