Prime Minister Narendra Modi called RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav and his family ‘the biggest offenders of Bihar’. While addressing a rally in Bettiah, West Champaran district, Modi alleged that the youths of Bihar had been compelled to migrate in large numbers due to the misrule of the RJD-Congress combine.
PM Modi said, ‘The family responsible for jungle raj are the biggest offenders of Bihar. Their misrule imperiled the future of an entire generation. Youths were forced to migrate to other parts of the country, while only one family prospered’.
The PM also reacted to Prasad’s barb that his attacks on dynastic politics stemmed from his saving no family and stated, ‘had people like Jayaprakash Narayan, Ram Manohar Lohia, Babasaheb Ambedkar and Karpoori Thakur been alive, these people would have attacked them, too, for not promoting their own families’.

Referring to the Rashtriya Janata Dal government that ruled Bihar for about 14 years between 1990 and 2005, PM Modi said that “one family prospered” and youth had to go out of state to earn their livelihood.
“How lands were grabbed in lieu of jobs. The challenge of outward migration increased during the jungle raj, those who brought jungle raj only cared about their family,” he said.
Earlier, PM Modi unveiled multiple development projects worth around Rs 12,800 crore in Bettiah.
‘Roads and bridges help in development. Infrastructural development leads to the creation of job opportunities. In Bihar, we have set up rail engine factories. The credit of the development is dedicated to the youth’, said PM Modi.
