PATNA:

The Congress and the RJD hurt Bihar's pride and kept the state poor due to mafia raj, goonda raj and corruption, Modi said, taking a pointed shot at RJD's Lalu Prasad and alleging that the former chief minister insulted BR Ambedkar.

The PM was speaking after laying the foundation stone of and inaugurating multiple development projects worth ₹11,000 crore. Modi, who is on a three-state tour, inaugurated the new Vaishali-Deoria railway line and a Vande Bharat Express between Patliputra and Gorakhpur via Muzaffarpur and Bettiah. He also flagged off a state-of-the-art locomotive—the first built at a plant in Marhowra in Saran district—for export to the Republic of Guinea.
