Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led opposition saying the "mahamilavati gang" is scared that if he comes to power again, their "shops" of corruption and dynastic politics will shut down.

Addressing an election rally here, Modi also said the opposition wants to strip the armed forces of their special powers, while the NDA government strives to give full liberty to jawans to deal with terrorists and Maoists.

Referring to the constituents of the "mahagathbandhan" (grand alliance) in Bihar as "mahamilavati (highly adulterated) gang", the prime minister claimed, "They fear that if Modi comes to power again, their shops of corruption, dynastic politics and venal defence deals will shut down."
He said, "We say we will trace out and demolish terror hideouts in Jammu and Kashmir and put those, who are funded by Pakistan to carry out terrorist activities, behind bars. The Congress and its allies say they will hold talks. Can those singing the tunes of Pakistan, speaking its language and thriving on its finances be trusted with talks?"
