Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Union Home Minister Amit Shah and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Thursday addressed separate rallies in Bihar during the ongoing Assembly election campaign, sharply criticising the RJD and Congress and accusing them of misrule and corruption in the past.Addressing a rally in Araria, PM Modi released what he called a “report card” of 1990–2005, alleging that the period was a phase of “misrule” in which Bihar saw “zero” development in expressways, bridges over the Kosi, tourist circuits, sports complexes and medical colleges.
“In the name of governance, you were only looted. How many expressways were built in those 15 years? Zero. How many bridges over the Kosi? Zero. How many tourist circuits? Zero. How many sports complexes? Zero. How many medical colleges? Zero,” PM Modi said.
He also said that no IIT or IIM was set up at that time.
PM Modi credited the NDA and the “double-engine government” for institutions such as IIT Patna, IIM Bodh Gaya, AIIMS Patna and Darbhanga AIIMS.
