After the landslide victory of NDA in Bihar Assembly elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi was given a grand welcome by the people of Bihari community in Surat district of Gujarat. During this, PM Modi also targeted the opposition grand alliance, citing the insult of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

PM Modi said that you must have seen the scenes of Bihar Assembly in the last two-three years. The way insulting Nitish Kumar had become a trend and the kind of foul language was being used, similar to what is seen in Parliament when other notables violate the decorum of Parliament, the same situation was visible in Patna. During this, Rahul Gandhi and Tejashwi Yadav were the targets of PM Modi.

He said that neither the people of the country accept such things nor the people of Bihar can tolerate it. There were many such incidents which created a feeling of complete hatred towards him in this election. PM Modi said that we have got a historic victory in Bihar and while moving ahead from Surat, I felt that if I did not meet the people of Bihar here, this journey would seem incomplete. Therefore, it is natural for me to greet my Bihari brothers and sisters living in Gujarat, especially Surat, and be a part of this victory celebration.

We celebrated Bihar’s centenary with full respect in Gujarat: PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, ‘When Bihar completed 100 years, it was natural to celebrate it in Bihar too, but even outside Bihar, we celebrated Bihar’s centenary with full respect and pride in Gujarat. In this election, NDA won and Grand Alliance lost, the difference in votes of both was only 10 percent. This shows that the attention of the common voters was focused on only one issue and that is development.

He said, ‘The desire for development was visible everywhere in Bihar. Today the hunger for development is visible everywhere in Bihar. I remember how people across the country were returning to their homes during Covid. At that time I had the opportunity to interact with the people of Bihar and many of them used those difficult times to start their own businesses. This is the real strength of the people of Bihar. Wherever you go in the world, you will always see the talent of Bihar shining.

We have only one mantra – Nation First – PM Modi

PM Modi said, ‘You (people of Surat) also know and the people of Bihar also know that we are that party, when you gave us the job as the Chief Minister of Gujarat, then also our mantra was that development of Gujarat for the development of India. Our basic thinking is – Nation First. This is the mantra for us, every corner of India, every state of India, every language-speaking citizen. This is worshipable and venerable for us. Therefore, being proud of Bihar and accepting the potential of Bihar is a very easy thing for us.

He said, ‘My brothers and sisters living in Surat were keeping a close eye on this election. There is no need to teach politics to the people of Bihar. He has the power to teach politics to the world.

PM Modi’s taunt on Tejashwi-Rahul

Taking a dig at the leaders of the opposition grand alliance, PM Modi said, ‘For the last two years, these leaders released on bail have been roaming around in Bihar chanting the tune of casteist politics. He tried his best to dissolve the poison of caste discrimination, but in this election the people of Bihar completely rejected that poison.

He said, ‘People from all areas of Bihar and all sections of the society gave unprecedented support to the NDA. NDA was victorious in 38, 34 areas dominated by Dalits. This is a big blow to those trying to divide them from the Dalit community. The people of the country have rejected MMC (Muslim League Maoist Congress). He does not understand why his party lost. That’s why they have chosen an easy excuse that sometimes they blame EVMs, sometimes the Election Commission, sometimes the SIR. This game of excuses may go on for a few days, but in the long run their workers will not accept it.

He further said, ‘I know that they cannot even say words like Swadeshi, self-reliant India or developed India, because their priorities are not the nation, not the people of the country. I want to tell my young friends that the youth will never accept those people whose thinking is not for the upliftment of the youth. Therefore, friends, the results of Bihar elections are an important milestone in the politics of India.
