Modi said that the families of Lalu Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi are the two “most corrupt families” of the state and the country, respectively.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), saying the people of the opposition have studied from “jungle raj pathshala”.
Addressing a public rally in Bhagalpur, which goes to polls in the second phase, PM Modi said, “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.”

“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,” the Prime Minister alleged.
Modi reiterated his claim that there is an internal rift within the opposition’s ‘Mahagathbandhan’ and that RJD had put a gun to the Congress party’s head to snatch the CM post.
“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 has 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 added.
The PM’s fresh attack on the RJD and the Congress came while voting for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections was underway across 18 districts.
According to the Election Commission of India’s data, the state recorded a brisk voter turnout of 42.31 per cent as of 1 pm.
Among the 18 districts where voting is underway, Gopalganj recorded the highest turnout of 46.73 per cent, followed by Lakhisarai with 46.37 per cent and Begusarai with 46.02 per cent, till 1 pm.
State capital Patna recorded sluggish voting among all districts with a turnout of 37.72 per cent.
