Prime Minister Narendra Modi hit out at RJD chief Lalu Yadav over his "complete reservation" remark and said that the person who brought "jungle raj" is advocating to give reservation of Dalits, backwards, and tribals to Muslims.
Addressing a public rally in Hajipur, PM Modi said that voting is taking place for the fourth phase today and appealed to the voters to vote in large numbers. " This is a big festival of democracy."
"The priority of the RJD and Congress is not you people, but their own vote bank. The person who brought 'Jungle Raj' to Bihar, who has been convicted by the court in the fodder scam, said that reservations should be given to Muslims and that too a complete reservation. They want to give reservations of Dalits, backwards, and tribals to Muslims. I guarantee you, as long as Modi is alive, they cannot rob your rights, they cannot snatch away your reservation. That time has gone when you tore the papers of reservation given to women," said PM Modi.
Earlier on May 7, former Bihar Chief Minister and RJD Chief Lalu Prasad Yadav came out in support of the Muslim quota, saying that they should get the reservation. Speaking to reporters, the former CM said, "Muslims should get reservations (reservation toh milna chahiye Musalmano ko, pura'...)."
PM Modi further said that the RJD and Congress do not have the will to take Bihar forward.
