In a scathing attack on former Bihar Chief Ministers Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday called them “the biggest offenders” of the State. He also took a dig at the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) for perpetuating “dynasty rule” and “corruption”.
The Prime Minister pointed out that after Independence, Bihar has been grappling with the migration of its youth. “When the Jungle Raj government was formed in Bihar, the migration increased manifold. People who brought about Jungle Raj were only bothered about their own family and put the future of lakhs of youth at stake. Bihar’s youth kept moving to the other States in search of livelihood and only one family thrived,” Mr. Modi said while addressing a rally at Aerodrome Ground in Bettiah in West Champaran district of Bihar.
He also referred to the land-for-jobs scam case, in which Mr. Prasad and his family members have been questioned by Central agencies, and asked the people if “such a family could be forgiven”.
