"Modi ji comes and makes big speeches. You ask him what treatment is meted out to Biharis by the BJP government in Maharasthra. You ask them what does he do when Biharis are bashed up and chased away from there," Gandhi said a day after the Prime Minister raised the pitch on the issue of migration of youths from Bihar in search of employment, countering Mahagathbandhan's "Bihari versus Bahari' pitch.
Rejecting it, Gandhi said not only people in Bihar but in the whole country understand the "lies".
"Modi ji, people are understanding lies told by you. Stop telling lies and do your work. I know RSS has given you this training. This is your training from RSS but you are the Prime Minister. Start doing the country's work and stop telling lies," the Congress Vice President said.
"We will stop BJP and RSS in Bihar and after Bihar, we will root out the BJP one by one from all states. Strengthen the hands of the grand allinace. Nitish ji will become Chief Minister...Congress knows how to run the government.
"In the last 10 years we had taken large number of people out of poverty net. We will do the same in Bihar and change the face of the state. This is partnership. Three of us will together change the face of the state," he said in an apparent bid to blunt the attack of NDA that the victory of the grand alliance will bring back Lalu Raj, which it had been calling "jungle raj".
"Everywhere you go, you will see the advertisement of Make India. It was projected as some lion. Open any computer set and you will see the lion of Make in India but this lion (babbar sher) has not given one job to youths of the country," Gandhi said.
