Bhabua, Bihar:
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is addressed a rally in Bihar's Bhabua, which will go to the polls on Friday in the second round.
Here are the highlights of what he said:
- I didn't know whether I would be able to reach Bhabhua or not.
- So what if he's the PM (taking a dig at opponents. Chants of Modi Modi).
- Now I know why I was being stopped from coming to Bhabhua.
- The huge crowd here shows why I was being stopped.
- The current government of Bihar is bound to be defeated
- They tried to stop my radio programme Mann ki Baat
- I have a feeling that some conspiracy is brewing in this region, request the election commission to take note
- I would request the EC to keep special arrangements in the area before polling.
- My only reply to the people who are trying to stop me is to go and vote in large numbers
- Mahaswaarth Bandhan ruled Bihar for 60 years. Congress- 30 years, RJD-15 years and Nitish-10 years.
- JP who fought against corruption, but the people who did politics on his legacy were caught accepting money as bribe.
- When BJP was in state government, there was no sting operation. The moment we left, the others joined the state government and it happened.
- Who were the five ministers on whose name the money was taken.
- People who have left shame, can they be given the reins of Bihar.
- When someone does a wrong, their heads hang in shame, but these people roam around proudly with their heads held high.
- You have heard everyone's speeches, TV debates and both alliances.
- NDA leaders says only one thing, please vote for us for Bihar's development.
- These people have only one agenda, we will destroy Modi, we will destroy Modi.
- Everyone who voted and came out were saying that they have voted for development and that is the best indication of Bihar's successful future.
- In India, 18,000 villages don't have electricity. Of these, 4,000 of them are in Bihar and I was pained to learn that.
- If Bihar had thought earlier, it could have used the coal resources of Jharkhand to produce electricity.
- I went to Bhutan and we are setting up a power project there to supply the electricity to Bihar.
- If our children are denied facilities of computers, they will lag behind. We need electricity for computers and education.
- We need small scale industries for generating employment.
- These people want darkness to remain so that their lantern rules the state.
- MUDRA Bank opened so that poor can avail loan facility for starting small business.
- Loans will be given without guarantee for amounts between Rs 50,000 to Rs 10 lakh.
- I will give power to the poor to fight poverty.
- These people want darkness to remain so that their lantern rules the state.
- Your resources are being stolen while the state is turning a blind eye.
- In India, on an average, 3,000 kg of wheat per hectare is produced, but in Bihar, it is 2,300 kgs per hectare.
- If a farmer can produce 700 kgs more per hectare, will he remain poor
- 20 lakh tonnes of wheat is produced less leading to a loss of Rs 2,500 crore annually.
- I have been told that polling has been very good. I am deeply grateful to those who have voted.
- I appeal to you to vote in such large numbers that you break all records on October 16.
- I can see that Bihar will celebrate Diwali again on November 8.
