Raising the issue of ‘parivarwad’, PM Modi said that they (opposition) criticise him for not having his own family. “Do ‘pariwarvadi’ leaders have the licence to loot public money?” he asked and said the ‘INDIA’ bloc was deeply involved in corruption.

Reiterating his resolve to develop Bihar, Prime Minister said this is the land, which gave new life to consciousness in the fight for India’s independence and made Mohandas (Karamchand Gandhi) into Mahatma Gandhi.

He said, “For a ‘Viksit Bharat’, it’s essential for Bihar to be developed. After the double engine government in the state, development works have accelerated. Today, Bihar got a gift of around Rs 13,000 crore.”

In response to RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s statement that PM Modi has no family, he said, “The person before you had left home at a very early age. Any person from Bihar who lives in other states returns home for Chhath and Diwali. But I left home in childhood. Which home do I have to return to?”

He reminded that the whole of India was his home and every Indian his family. “That is why every Indian is saying today, “Mein hoon Modi kar Parivar,” he asserted.

Earlier, PM Modi inaugurated and laid the foundation stones of several projects worth Rs 12,800 crore.
