RJD stands for 'Roz Jungle-raj ka Darr': Modi

Accusing Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar of breaking away from the NDA alliance for 'personal gains', Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said the former's party RJD stands for 'Roz Jungle-raj ka Darr'.

"RJD means 'Roz Jungle-raj ka Darr'. Some leaders of Bihar, who used to make fun of tweeting, are now doing it themselves. I think Nitish ji was impatient that I did not come to Bihar for 14 months. We are not the ones who run away from their responsibility but fulfill our promises," said Prime Minister Modi while addressing a rally in Patna.

"The jungle raj in Bihar is still prevalent. If you were angry with me, you could have admonished me; instead you were so miffed that you forsook development of Bihar. You have seen different models of governance; give the NDA a chance to serve you," he said.
 

"People who say won't let Modi ji come to Bihar, we don't need Modi ji' etc can they work well with Centre? Maximum ministers, the important portfolios in this Government are from Bihar. Leaders from Bihar are running the entire Nation. There is no discussion on development, law and order etc but on snakes and poison. These two should sit and decide who is what. Bihar has the potential to change the whole nation," he added.

The Prime Minister further said he had come to promise 24 hours electricity to the people of Bihar.

"When I went to Bhutan I signed an agreement for a Hydro electric plant, Bihar will benefit the most from this plant. I have come to promise you 24 hours electricity in Bihar. When there will no electricity then how will you charge mobiles, how will you watch TV serials like 'kyunki saas bhi kabhi bahu thi'?" he asked.
