'They Learned A For Apahran, F For Firoti In Jungle Raj Pathshaala': PM Modi's Fresh Salvo At RJD, Lalu Family

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday called members of the RJD in Bihar of being trained in a “jungle raaj pathsala,” where they learned “‘A’ se Aparhan (abduction), ‘F’ se Firoti (ransom), ‘R’ se Rangdari (lumpen elements).”

Speaking at a public rally in Bhagalpur, PM Modi stated, “RJD people have studied from 'jungle Raj pathshala' that teaches 'A se Aparan', 'Aa se Aatyachar'. RJD people only understand 'F se Firoti' and 'R se Rangdari'. Their school teaches P se Parivarwaad, G se Ghotala. RJD's kakahara is katta, katuta, krurta, kushasan, kusanskar, corruption and Kushashan.”

He also recited the “jungle raaj's Kakahara,” highlighting terms such as “katta, katuta, krurta, kushasan, kusanskar.”

PM Modi further labeled the families of Lalu Yadav and Rahul Gandhi as the two “most corrupt families,” suggesting that funds from the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana could have ended up in their bank accounts.

“Imagine if Bihar's most corrupt family and the country's most corrupt family, both out on bail, were in power, this money would have ended up in the coffers of Congress and RJD leaders, not in the sisters' accounts,” he said.

On internal power struggles within the Mahagathbandhan, PM Modi claimed that the RJD had forced the Congress to relinquish the CM candidacy.

“For the past few months, Congress leaders have been claiming that their party is the big one and RJD is just a small tag-along. But the RJD have challenged this arrogance of Congress, challenged the arrogance of their 'Namdaar.' and by putting a gun to Congress's head, they've snatched away the candidacy for the CM position. Now, Congress folks are gearing up to take revenge on RJD,” he said.

Referring to Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as ‘Namdaar,’ the Prime Minister alleged that the Lok Sabha LoP never intended to visit Bihar.

“The Congress 'Namdaar' have been missing for quite some time. People say that he didn't even want to come to Bihar; he was forcibly brought here. But now, they are instead causing harm to RJD itself. Those who can betray their own comrades for the sake of power's interests can never be well-wishers of Bihar,” he said.

In his campaign address, PM Modi also outlined the NDA government’s developmental priorities for Bhagalpur, placing strong emphasis on tourism and transportation.

“There is another sector full of opportunities for the youth of Bihar, on which we are focusing heavily. This sector is tourism, pilgrimage, and heritage tourism... Our boatmen and our youth should get more earning opportunities from the Ganges. This will only be possible through increased tourism and transportation. The river waterway built on the Ganges will greatly benefit Bhagalpur. On one hand, the NDA government is busy promoting Bihar's heritage to the world, while on the other hand, the Congress and RJD are insulting our faith,” PM Modi said.
