Bihar: PM Modi Hails Chirag Paswan as ‘Son’, Calls for Votes Surpassing Father’s Tally

Patna: During the second day of his Bihar tour, Prime Minister Narendra Modi held meetings in Hajipur, Muzaffarpur, and Chhapra. In Hajipur, the PM highlighted that during the tenure of Congress and RJD’s government at the Centre, the Enforcement Directorate (ED) seized only Rs 35 lakh over a span of 10 years. In contrast, the current government has confiscated Rs 2,200 crore. He emphasized the scale of the seized funds, stating that it would require 70 trucks to transport it.

PM Modi further stated in Hajipur that he had not come to solicit votes for Chirag, expressing confidence in his victory. He urged voters to ensure that Chirag receives more votes than his father, Ram Vilas Paswan, to bring peace to the latter’s soul.

In Muzaffarpur, PM Modi underscored the need for strong leadership, rejecting the idea of a weak government akin to the Congress. He mocked the opposition’s fear of Pakistan’s nuclear weapons, vowing to confront Pakistan if necessary.
