Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday (October 28) highlighted Bihar`s past to question Bihar`s future, and said the days of the lantern were over, taking a dig at the main opposition RJD, which ruled the state for 15 years.

In his Patna rally, which was his third on Wednesday, the Prime Minister said, “Who can fulfill the aspirations of the poor and the middle class of Bihar? Those who looted Bihar, can they do it? Those who single-handedly thought of their families and did injustice to everyone will never realise Bihar`s expectations. Only the NDA can do it.”

Sharing the stage with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, PM Modi said, “Atal ji (former Prime Minister) used to say that in Bihar in-bound supply of electricity is less while it vanishes more. The darkness of the lantern era is now over. Bihar`s aspirations now are of continued electricity supply, of LED bulbs.”

He also said that just like the people of the state can save themselves from COVID-19 with a mask, similarly with a single vote they can save Bihar from becoming “bimar” (sick).
