PM Modi attacks RJD’s 15-year rule, “Era of corruption and jungle raj”

New Delhi, Nov 6 (UNI) On the day of voting in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a sharp attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), recalling its 15-year rule as a period marked by “katta, katuta, krurta, kushasan, kusanskar, and corruption” describing it as Bihar’s “dark era.”
Addressing a public rally in Araria, the Prime Minister urged voters to once again repose faith in the NDA, which has governed Bihar for the past two decades.
“I am telling you about the power of your vote. Your grandparents, maternal grandparents' one vote had made Bihar the land of social justice. But then, the 90s decade came, and RJD's jungle raj attacked Bihar. Jungle Raj means - pistol, cruelty, corruption and misgovernance. These became the identity of jungle raj, and this became Bihar's misfortune. Your parents' dreams were crushed,” he said.
