PM Modi At Bihar Rally: Launching a blistering attack at the Mahagathbandhan, particularly, Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing a poll rally in Bihar's Samastipur, said, "Har ek ke haath mein light hain toh lantern (RJD symbol) chahiye kya?" Hundreds of attendees switched on their mobile torches after PM Modi urged them to do so in an attempt to mock the rival.
He said leader Lalu Prasad Yadav's family had looted Bihar over the years, but they are out on bail.

"Law and order cannot exist where a party like the RJD is in power. Under the RJD rule, extortion, murder, ransom, and kidnapping flourished. The RJD's jungle raj ruined generations of Bihar. The biggest sufferers of RJD's misrule were my mothers and sisters, the youth, the Dalits and backward classes of Bihar, and the extremely backward classes of Bihar," the prime minister said.
During this jungle raj, the doors of police stations were closed to Dalits and the extremely backward classes, he added.
"Naxalism and Maoist terrorism also flourished during the RJD's jungle raj. In 2014, you gave the NDA an opportunity in Delhi. I resolved to liberate the youth of Bihar and the country from this Maoist terror. We have broken the back of Naxalism, Maoist terrorism in Bihar. Very soon, the entire country, the entire Bihar, will be completely free from Maoist terror, and this is Modi's guarantee," PM Modi said.
