Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lambasted the Congress for having brought “disrepute” to the country, while lauding Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for maintaining an “unblemished record”.
Addressing an election rally at Jamui, Modi refrained from mentioning Pakistan by name, but said that under the BJP-led NDA government, “India has started hitting back, reviving the ancient glory of the Magadha empire”.
The PM also took an indirect jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party, which has struck an alliance with the Congress in Delhi.
“All these people who used to accuse each other of corruption have now come together to hurl abuses at Modi,” he said.
Modi claimed that when the Congress was in power, “terrorists from small countries struggling for wheat supplies could strike at will”.
