Lauding the people of Bihar for reposing their faith in the grand alliance, former chief minister Rabri Devi on Sunday lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for failing to fulfill the promises made to the nation.
"I would give the credit of the victory to the people of Bihar. It was a close contest, but the people have given their verdict," she said.
"He (Narendra Modi) became the Prime Minister making tall promises, but he failed to fulfill them. I congratulate both of them. The Prime Minister did not fulfill any of his promises he made to the people, prices of pulses increased. The people observed all this," she added.
