Prime Minister Narendra Modi addresses a public rally in Muzaffarpur

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday accused Congress leader Rahul Gandhi and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav of abusing him.

"They hate me 24 hours a day and keep hurling insults. They keep cursing because they cannot tolerate that a man from a backward and poor family has reached this position." Both of them abused me yesterday, they think it is their birthright," he said.

Branding them as “princes of corruption", the PM said these leaders are deceiving the public with false promises. “The duo, which considers themselves princes, has opened a shop of false promises, one is the prince of the country’s most corrupt family, and the other is the prince of Bihar’s most corrupt family," PM Modi said. “Yesterday, both, the so-called ‘Yuvrajs’ tried to show that there is no conflict between them, but what has brought them together is their greed for power."

PM Modi said women empowerment said that both  for the Union and the Bihar governments, women empowerment has been a top priority.

Citing government schemes that have benefited women across the country, PM Modi noted that the government has provided tap water connections, free gas connections, and free ration, so that their "hardships" are reduced.

"Whether it is Narendra or Nitish, women's empowerment has always been our priority. We provided permanent houses to the poor, and registered them in the names of women. We gave tap water connections, free gas connections, and free ration so that our sisters' hardships would be reduced," the Prime Minister said.

Earlier, citing the misgovernance of the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Congress party in Bihar, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described their rule in five words, stating "Katta, Kroorta, Katuta, Kushasan and Corruption."
Explaining the meaning, the Prime Minister said the word "katta" refers to a place where cruelty prevails and law and order break down.

"RJD-Congress can be identified by five things. What have the RJD-Congress done? I will tell you about these five words- Katta, Kroorta, Katuta, Kushasan, and Corruption... Where there is 'katta', where cruelty reigns, there the law breaks down," PM Modi said.

The Bihar assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.
