Officially kickstarting NDA's election campaign in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday launched a blistering attack on opposition parties for seeking proof of airstrikes on Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) training camp in Pakistan's Balakot.
Speaking at a rally at Patna's Gandhi Maidan, Modi said, "The leaders of opposition parties are now doubting our forces' valour. Just like they questioned the surgical strikes, they are now seeking evidence of airstrikes on terror camps."
"You are all witnesses when our country's army is crushing terror. Whether they are within our border or outside, what are some people doing within the country at such times? Instead of boosting the morale of the forces, they are doing things that make enemies happy," Modi said.
While I want to eliminate terror, opposition parties are conspiring to finish me, the Prime Minister said.
He added, "When there was a need to speak in one voice against the terror factory, 21 parties in Delhi gathered in Delhi to pass a motion against the NDA government and Modi."
The Prime Minister shared the stage with Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar at the NDA's Sankalp rally. This will be the first joint rally of Modi and Nitish after 9 years. Union minister Ramvilas Paswan's LJP, another constituent of NDA, is also taking part in the rally.
"These days competition is underway to abuse the 'chowkidaar', but you be assured, this 'chowkidaar' of yours is as alert as ever," Modi said.
Launching an attack on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, Modi said, "People of Bihar are very much aware of what all happened in the name of fodder. Only we have dared to end the culture of corruption and middlemen which had been a normal practice in the country for decades."
