Jamui, April 4: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday lambasted the Congress for having brought ā€œdisreputeā€ to the country, while lauding Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for maintaining an ā€œunblemished recordā€.

Addressing an election rally at Jamui, Modi refrained from mentioning Pakistan by name, but said that under the BJP-led NDA government, ā€œIndia has started hitting back, reviving the ancient glory of the Magadha empireā€.Ā Congress Posts 'Four Questions for PM Narendra Modi' Ahead of Lok Sabha Elections 2024 Campaign in Bihar, Seeks His Stance on Caste-Census Released by Nitish Kumar Govt.

The PM also took an indirect jibe at the Aam Aadmi Party, which has struck an alliance with the Congress in Delhi. ā€œAll these people who used to accuse each other of corruption have now come together to hurl abuses at Modi,ā€ he said. Modi claimed that when the Congress was in power, ā€œterrorists from small countries struggling for wheat supplies could strike at willā€.

He made a mention of the ā€œland for jobs scamā€ in which RJD president Lalu Prasad is named as an accused. ā€œOur ally Nitish babu (Bihar CM) was also the railway minister. What an unblemished record he had,ā€ the prime minister said.Ā ā€˜Ab Kabhi Idhar Udhar Nahi Hone Wale Hainā€™: Bihar CM Nitish Kumar Promises to Stay in NDA at PM Narendra Modiā€™s Jamui Rally (Watch Video).

PM Modi Slams Congress:

Modi, addressing his first public meeting in Bihar since the announcement of the Lok Sabha polls, also charged the RJD-Congress combine of ā€œheaping scorn on Ram temple at Ayodhyaā€ and ā€œopposing the election of a tribal woman (Droupadi Murmu) as the President of the countryā€. Visibly pleased at the huge turnout, he said, ā€œIt seems the people of Bihar have decided to help the NDA win all 40 seats in the state, and achieve the 400-plus target in the country.ā€
