Opposition scared, indulging in scaremongering: Modi

Addressing an election rally in Bihar's Bhagalpur Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday attacked the Congress alleging that "mahamilavati gang" is scared of his regaining power. Modi claimed their "shops" of corrupt practices and politics of dynasty would come to an end.

Bhagalpur (Bihar): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday launched a scathing attack on the Congress-led opposition, asserting "mahamilavati gang" is scared that if he comes to power again, their "shops" of corrupt and dynastic politics will come to an end.

Addressing an election rally, Modi said that opposition wants to strip the armed forces of their special powers, while NDA government has given full liberty to jawans to deal with terrorists and Naxals.

"The mahamilavati gang is actually afraid of something else though it may have other pretensions while scaremongering. They fear that if Modi comes to power again, their shops of corruption, dynasty politics and venal defence deals will end forever," he said.

The prime minister said his government has been making efforts to bolster the quota system introduced by Baba Saheb Ambedkar.

"They are saying that if Modi comes to power again, elections would be done away with. All constitutional bodies will be under threat. And reservations will be done away with," he said quoting Congress.

"The fact remains, that your 'chowkidar' has been making all efforts to strengthen the quota system introduced by Baba Saheb Ambedkar," Modi said.

Bihar will witness seven-phased polling for its 40 Lok Sabha seats.
