PM Modi launches strong attack against Opposition
During his virtual interaction, Prime Minister Narendra Modi strongly criticised the Opposition, calling their alliance a “Lathbandhan”. He accused them of putting “self-interest” above everything else and said they “don’t care about the youth of Bihar”.
“Those who call themselves the ‘Gathbandhan,’ whom the people of Bihar call the ‘Lathbandhan,’ only know how to use the lathi and keep fighting. For the ‘Lathbandhan,’ their own self-interest is paramount. They don’t care about the youth of Bihar,” PM Modi said. He further added that the people and youth of Bihar has suffered for decades from Naxalism and Maoist terror and that the Opposition “kept winning elections with the help of Maoist terror.” He said that Naxalism and Maoist terror had a big part in destroying Bihar.
