“[RJD and Congress] are parties of families. They will continue to benefit their families contrary to [Prime Minister] Narendra Modi-led NDA [National Democratic Alliance] government whose prime motto is to benefit the poor through good governance,” he said while campaigning in Bihar’s Araria.

Nadda said Modi enforced the Covid-19 lockdown strictly when the US was confused over imposing it. “During the pandemic, [leaders of RJD and Congress] were raising questions over vaccines. But they took the vaccines stealthily,”

Nadda attacked the Congress and its allies as anti-Ram and anti-nation. “These people had problems in building the temple of Lord Ram in Ayodhya. Modi got the temple built...”

He said the BJP was committed to the development and prosperity of the people. Nadda alleged the Congress-led alliance wants to give reservation based on religion.
