'Never Forgot Bihar So Where's the Question of Remembering,' Says PM

New Delhi:  Prime Minister Narendra Modi today addressed a rally in Bhagalpur, his fourth in Bihar where elections will be held by November.

Here are the highlights of his speech:

• This is NDA’s fourth rally in the state but today’s rally has broken all records.


• First time in 25 years, people of Bihar have decided to vote for development.


• No one can stop NDA’s ‘vijay yatra’ in Bihar.


• Bihar wants a pro-farmer government, a government that will provide employment, development, security to women.


• The governments which have been ruling Bihar for over 25 years should give a report of their work.


• When Lok Sabha elections will come, I will give an account of each penny in 2019.


• Current Bihar government is not ready to give an account of their work.


• Sunday’s rally was a ’tilanjali rally’ or betrayal of socialist values of leaders like Jay Prakash Narayan and Ram Manohar Lohia.


• Not just Bihar, but the whole country is disappointed with the (Sunday) rally as there were no answers on how to take Bihar forward.


• There was only one agenda- Modi Modi Modi Modi Modi Modi Modi.


• There is a finance commission that decides how much money the Centre will give to the states. The 14th Finance Commission has said that Bihar will get Rs 3.76 lakh crore from Delhi.


• So you tell me: If Rs 3.76 crore are coming from us (Centre). You (State) is giving a package of Rs 2.7 lakh crore. Where the remaining will Rs 1 lakh 6 thousand crore go? Will the remaining money go into the books of fodder?


• I was the first person to call Nitish Kumar during Nepal earthquake to enquire about damages in Bihar.


• Vote for development, vote to change the fortune of Bihar.
