Modi slams Nitish, Lalu over sting video
Jehanabad Bhabua: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday launched a blistering attack against rivals Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad over a sting video of a senior JD-U minister allegedly accepting bribe, saying they have “no shame” and accused them of “insulting” JP's legacy of fighting corruption.
Addressing back-to-back election rallies in Jehanabad and Bhabhua, Modi said leaders of the grand alliance are “scared” and flayed them for approaching Election Commission to halt the live telecast of his meetings on Monday, when the first phase of the assembly poll is underway.
Referring to the incident, Modi said what was worse that it happened on the birth anniversary of the socialist icon.
“This was done by those who used to stake claim to JP's legacy. Such insult to JP should have never been done.” Modi said,”Such leaders have committed the sin of reducing Bihar's honour to dust.” “In the sting he (Awadesh) says there are five ministers (who would benefit from alleged bribe). Name those five ministers. Two more have been caught committing the sin but their leader does not feel bad about it. He does not feel bad about this sin or 'jungle raj' or corruption. Can Bihar be allowed to go into the hands of people, who have become shameless, to those who are not ashamed of such money transactions? There is something called shame in public life due to which even if somebody is caught committing a sin, he sits back at home. But here he is strutting,” he said, attacking RJD chief Lalu Prasad.
