What Has Yadav Said About PM Modi?

Ahead of PM Modi's Gaya ji visit, Yadav targeted PM Modi with the posts on social media. He posted a 2.21 minutes folk song showing PM Modi with caption, "Dear PM Ji, Why do you speak so many lies morning and evening, ji? Before raining promises in Gaya ji today, make sure to listen to this song, it’s the outpouring of Bihar’s people for you. #TejashwiYadav #Bihar #RJD."

In another tweet, the RJD leader predicted that PM Modi will shower lies in Gaya ji during a government event. "Today, a shop of lies and rhetoric will be set up in Gaya ji ! Prime Minister ji, in Gaya, with a boneless tongue, you will build a Himalaya of lies and rhetoric today, but the justice-loving people of Bihar, like Dashrath Manjhi, will break down these massive mountains of your lies and rhetoric. Give an account of your 11 years and the 20 years of the NDA government's rule? #Gaya #Bihar #TejashwiYadav #RJD," his post read.

PM Modi Launches Projects Worth Rs 12,000 Crore In Gaya ji

Earlier on Friday, the prime minister laid the foundation stone and inaugurated multiple development projects worth Rs 12,000 crore at Gaya ji. PM Modi offered salutations to Gaya ji, the sacred city of knowledge and liberation and extended greetings to all from the glorious land of the Vishnupad Temple.

He remarked that the land of Gaya ji is a land of spirituality and peace. The PM highlighted that this sacred soil is where Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.

“Gaya ji’s spiritual and cultural heritage is both ancient and immensely rich”, stated PM Modi. Noting that the people of the region wished for the city to be referred to not merely as “Gaya,” but respectfully as “Gaya ji”, the prime minister congratulated the Bihar Government for honoring this sentiment. He expressed happiness that their Governments at Centre and Bihar are consistently working towards the rapid development of Gaya ji.
