Congress royal family was losing sleep during explosions in Pakistan: PM Modi

Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi told a campaign rally in Bihar that the Congress and its ally Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) did not like the success of Operation Sindoor, NDTV reported.

At a stump speech in Bihar's Arrah, PM Modi took on the opposition, singling out the Congress particularly, saying that the ‘Congress royal family’ lost sleep when explosions took place in Pakistan.

‘The explosions took place in Pakistan, but the Congress royal family was losing sleep. The naamdaars of Pakistan and Congress are yet to recover from the shock of Operation Sindoor,’ he said.

Campaigning for NDA candidates in the poll-bound state, PM Modi has said that as BJP-led NDA is going ahead with its pledge of Viksit Bharat, a tussle is underway in the Opposition alliance over Chief Ministerial candidate with Congress and RJD coming to blows.

‘Congress never wanted to name an RJD leader the alliance's Chief Ministerial candidate, but RJD did not lose the opportunity. RJD held a katta (gun) to Congress's head and stole the Chief Minister post. They forced the announcement of the Chief Minister candidate,’ he said.

In a swipe at the Opposition alliance, he claimed that the tussle between both parties intensified, adding ‘Congress was not consulted on the manifesto and is not being heard over the campaign. If there is so much hatred before the polls, they will start breaking each other's heads later. Remember, such people cannot work for Bihar's betterment’.

Attacking the previous Lalu Yadav regime, PM Modi said ‘RJD's Jungle Raj is identified by katta (gun), kroorta (cruelty), katuta (bitterness), kusanskar (superstition), kusashan (misgovernance), and corruption’.

He said that Nitish Kumar led NDA government brought the state out of the difficult period.
