He alleged that the opposition had resorted to insults against migrants from Bihar in other states. "These RJD people who keep doing 'mujra' with their lantern (poll symbol) do not have the courage to speak a word in protest," siad PM Modi.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi, while addressing back-to-back rallies in Bihar's Karakat and Patliputra Lok Sabha constituencies, accused the INDIA bloc of attempting to divert reservations meant for Scheduled Castes (SCs), Scheduled Tribes (STs), and Other Backward Classes (OBCs) to Muslims. He accused INDIA bloc of "enslavement" and performing "mujra" for Muslim vote bank.

"Bihar is the land which has given a new direction to the fight for social justice. I wish to declare on its soil that I will foil the plans of the INDIA bloc to rob SCs, STs and OBCs of their rights and divert these to Muslims. They may remain enslaved and perform 'mujra' to please their vote bank," the PM said.

He alleged that the opposition had resorted to insults against migrants from Bihar in other states. "These RJD people who keep doing 'mujra' with their lantern (poll symbol) do not have the courage to speak a word in protest," siad PM Modi.

PM Modi also announced initiatives such as the 'PM Surya Ghar Muft Bijli Yojana' aimed at reducing electricity bills to zero.

The Prime Minister asserted that the opposition coalition was destined for a defeat. He said, "On June 4 when the results will be out, RJD and Congress workers will be seen tearing off each other's clothes. The 'shahi parivar' (royal family) of the Congress will put the entire blame of defeat on Mallikarjun Kharge and leave for a vacation abroad."

Prime Minister Narendra Modi accused Opposition alliance of conspiring to change the Constitution to divert reservations to Muslims. He claimed that if the Opposition were to come to power, their first step would be to amend the Constitution to prevent the court from intervening in their plans. He said, "... if they are voted to power, the first thing they would do is to change the Constitution so that even the court is unable to overrule their attempts to divert reservations to Muslims. I have been challenging them to refute me in writing but they have been reluctant because they have a guilty conscience".

He expressed concern that such a move would jeopardize the constitutional rights of several deprived castes, including the traditionally RJD-supporting Yadavs.

He promised stern action against those involved in corruption, indirectly referencing RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and his family. He remarked, "Those who have snatched people's land in return for jobs will be firmly dealt with".

The Prime Minister also urged voters to offer prayers for a developed India and reiterated his commitment to combat terrorism, insurgency, and corruption. "Every vote for every NDA candidate is not just to elect the local MP but the prime minister. when you go back to your homes please visit the nearest temple and offer prayers for a developed India on my behalf," the PM said.
