Bihar win: PM Modi calls Congress 'Muslim League Maoist Congress'

PM Modi termed Congress the 'Muslim League Maoist Congress' and predicted a major split. After the NDA's Bihar win, he mocked Rahul Gandhi's 'dip in a pond' and warned Congress' allies that the party is a 'parasite' and a 'liability'.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi called Congress "Muslim League Maoist Congress (MMC)," and stated that a faction within the party does not agree with this "negative agenda." PM said that there could be a "major split" in Congress because of their "Muslim League-Maoist" agenda. "Today, the Congress has become MMC- Muslim League Maoist Congress and the entire agenda of the Congress now revolves around this, and therefore, within the Congress as well, a separate faction is emerging that is uncomfortable with this negative politics...I fear that there could be another major split in the Congress," PM Modi said, while addressing BJP workers at party headquarters in New Delhi after a landslide victory in Bihar.

'Congress is drowning everyone'

PM further took a jibe at Rahul Gandhi over his dip in a pond in Begusarai during the election campaigning, saying that he practised to "drown himself and others" in the Bihar elections. "Even the Congress allies are beginning to understand that the Congress is drowning everyone in its negative politics. That is why, during the Bihar elections, I said that the 'naamdar' of the Congress is practising to drown himself and others in the Bihar elections by taking a dip in the pond," he said.

PM Modi further warned Congress' allies, calling the party a "liability and a parasite" that is "swallowing the vote bank of its allies." "I have previously warned Congress allies from this very platform. I said that Congress is a liability. Congress is a parasite that wants to make a comeback by swallowing the vote bank of its allies," he said.

Bihar has ensured 'Jungle Raj' will never return

PM Modi further assured the people that "Jungle Raaj" will never return to Bihar and dedicated the NDA's victory to the mothers, sisters, and daughters of the state. "With the new government, the NDA is now moving forward towards a golden journey of 25 years in Bihar. Bihar has ensured that Jungle Raj will never return to this great land of Bihar. Today's victory belongs to the mothers, sisters, and daughters of Bihar who endured the terror of Jungle Raj for years under RJD rule," he said.

"It (victory) belongs to the youth of Bihar whose future was ruined by the terror of Congress and the Red Flag people. Today, that Red Corridor, those days of terror, are history. Bihar is moving forward on the path of development, and this journey is not going to stop now," he added.
