Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Friday slammed the Opposition in Bihar, claiming that even as the nation is entering the ‘digital age’ under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) want to take Bihar back to the ‘lantern era’.
The Chief Minister was addressing a public meeting in support of Saran Lok Sabha candidate Rajiv Pratap Rudy at Dharahra Khurd in Bihar. “The people of the INDIA (Indian National Developmental, Inclusive Alliance) bloc want to gain power by creating conflicts among castes and promoting terrorism, naxalism, and corruption,” Mr. Adityanath said. “I have come to you from the land of Lord Ram. We people from Uttar Pradesh consider Bihar our maternal home because it is the birthplace of Maa Janaki,” he added.
The youth of Bihar, which gave the world leaders like the first President of India Rajendra Prasad and Jayaprakash Narayan, now face an identity crisis because of the Congress and the RJD, he claimed.
