PM Modi In Bihar Rally Slams Congress, RJD; Says 'Every Infiltrator Will Have To Leave'

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during a rally in Purnea, criticised the Congress and RJD for allegedly compromising Bihar's honour and identity due to infiltration issues. He emphasised that infiltrators must leave the country, highlighting a demographic crisis in Seemanchal and Eastern India affecting states like Bihar, Bengal, and Assam. Concerns about the safety of women in these regions were also raised.

PM Modi's Firm Stance on Infiltration

Addressing the crowd, PM Modi made it clear that the NDA is committed to halting infiltration. He accused Congress and RJD of supporting infiltrators by organising rallies and raising slogans to protect them. "These people want to put both the resources and security of Bihar and the country at stake," he stated.

The Prime Minister challenged opposition leaders defending infiltrators, asserting that efforts to save them would be futile. "No matter how much effort you put in to save the infiltrators, we will continue to work on the resolve of removing the infiltrators...This is Modi's guarantee," he declared. He assured that actions against infiltrators would yield positive results for the nation.

Development Initiatives Unveiled

In addition to his political remarks, PM Modi launched several development projects worth over Rs 36,000 crore. These included inaugurating a new airport terminal in north Bihar and launching the National Makhana Board. The foundation stone for a significant thermal power project in Bhagalpur was also laid.

The Prime Minister further initiated Phase 1 of the Kosi-Mechi Intra-State River Link Project with an investment exceeding Rs 2,680 crore. He participated in Griha Pravesh ceremonies for numerous beneficiaries under housing schemes, distributing keys to some recipients.

Controversial Social Media Post Sparks Outrage

A now-deleted post by Congress's Kerala unit compared Bihar to a Beedi (tobacco), causing political uproar. The post aimed at mocking PM Modi's speech style but was perceived as derogatory towards Bihar. This incident provided BJP with ammunition against the opposition alliance.

PM Modi criticised Congress for this insult, stating that they have consistently defamed Bihar while failing to acknowledge its development under current governance. He noted that previous governments had neglected Bihar for decades.

The Prime Minister expressed confidence that Biharis would respond robustly against Congress and RJD in upcoming elections. His remarks underscored ongoing tensions between political parties over regional pride and national security concerns related to infiltration issues.
