Opposition is dividing country, while BJP is uniting: PM Modi in Bihar

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that the Centre is working to unite people of the country, while the opposition is working to unite the people of the country.  He was addressing National Convention of ‘Swachhagrahis’ in Motihari town of Bihar.

“They (opposition) are creating hurdles in the work of the government from the streets to Parliament. Today you have a government at the Centre which is working to unite the people of the country while the opposition is working to divide the people,” PM Modi said.


PM Modi’s remarks against the opposition came after Dalit protest against Supreme Court order diluting the Scheduled Caste/Scheduled Tribes Atrocities Act rocked the nation.

Eight persons were killed and dozens injured during Dalit protests on 2 April turned violent following a SC order.

Hitting out at the former Congress-led UPA government for delaying projects, the Prime Minister said his government was completing all its mission and commitments with the cooperation of the people.

Describing the Madhepura Electric Locomotive Factory as a prime example of Make in India and a source of employment in the region, he said work on the project was first approved in 2007 but it began only three years ago when the NDA government came into the power.

On Tuesday, the first engine rolled out of the factory. “This is the style of working of this government. ‘Ab atkane, latkane and bhatkane wala kaam nahin hota’. Now the culture of stopping files is not there. The government is committed to fulfil all its mission,” PM Modi said.

PM Modi dedicated the first phase of the Madhepura Electric Locomotive Factory to the nation. Via video link, PM Modi flagged off the first 12,000 HP Freight Electric Locomotive, and the Champaran Humsafar Express.

On the occasion, the Prime Minister launched several important development projects. He unveiled a plaque to mark the foundation stone of Motijheel Project, the Bettiah Nagar Parishad Water Supply Scheme and four Ganga Projects.

PM Modi laid the foundation stone for the doubling of railway lines between Muzaffarpur and Sagauli as well as between Sagauli and Valmikinagar.

The Prime Minister also laid the foundation stone for a road lane of NH-2 in Aurangabad Bihar-Jharkhand border section and distributed awards to Champion Swachhagrahis from across the country.


PM Modi praises Nitish

The Prime Minister showered praise on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for his patience and able administration in fighting corrupt and anti-social forces.

“It is not so easy,” he said, adding that the Centre extended its full support to the efforts of Nitish Kumar in fighting against corruption and his efforts towards sanitation drive for social change.
