RJD's Abbreviation Is 'Corruption-Ridden Anarchy Party': Nadda

BJP leader Nadda attacked RJD, calling it "Rishwatkhor Jungleraj Dal" for allegedly protecting corruption. Nadda accused INDIA bloc leaders of facing legal issues, while PM Modi fights corruption. He criticized Rahul Gandhi, Lalu Prasad, and others for being out on bail and linked INDIA bloc with dynastic politics. Nadda asserted that NDA will win all 40 Bihar seats and highlighted India's economic growth under Modi, citing statistics on pharmaceuticals, toys, and automobiles.

Launching a frontal attack on the RJD, an alliance partner of the INDIA bloc in Bihar, BJP national president J P Nadda on Thursday said the party led by Lalu Prasad stands for 'Rishwatkhor Jungleraj Dal'.

Addressing public rallies in Araria and Muzaffarpur Lok Sabha seats in support of BJP candidates Pradeep Kumar Singh and Raj Bhushan Nishad respectively, Nadda accused the opposition coalition of ''protecting'' corrupt people, whereas Prime Minister Narendra Modi was ''striving hard'' to end corruption in the country.

While Araria will go to polls in the third phase on May 7, voting will take place in Muzaffarpur on May 20.

''A majority of the leaders of the INDIA bloc, including those of the Congress and RJD, are either in jail or out on bail. PM Modi wants to end corruption but the INDIA bloc leaders call for protecting the corrupt. RJD, whose leaders are on bail, 'means' corruption. R stands for 'Rishwatkhori' (bribery), J for 'Jungleraj' and D means 'Daldal' (slough of mud),'' he said.

''On one side, we have a PM who is working for the country and on the other, you have the INDIA bloc, a 'parivar bachao, dynasty bachao' alliance,'' he alleged.

Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi, RJD's Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav, all are out on bail, Nadda claimed.

''Congress leaders were involved in coal, CWG, 2G and AgustaWestland scams... Lalu Prasad and his family members were involved in fodder and land-for-job scams, SP's Akhilesh Yadav was involved in Gomti riverfront development and foodgrain scams, Arvind Keriwal was involved in liquor scam. This 'ghamandiya' (arrogant) alliance is nothing but an alliance of the corrupt people,'' he said.

''Besides, parties of the 'ghamandiya alliance' are all 'parivarvadi' (dynastic)... Look at Farooq Abdullah and Omar Abdullah, Mufti Mohammad Sayeed and Mehbooba Mufti, Mulayam Singh Yadav and Akhilesh-Dimple, Lalu-Rabri-Tejashwi-Tej Pratap-Misa Bharti, Mamata Banerjee and Abhishek, KCR-KTR-Kavita, Karunanidhi-Stalin-Udayanidhi... Congress has Sonia-Rahul-Priyanka... all of them are dynasts,'' the BJP national president alleged.

''Corrupt leaders of INDIA bloc who are in jail include Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, and other AAP leaders Manish Sisodia and Satyendar Jain,'' he added.

Reiterating that the BJP-led NDA will win 400-plus Lok Sabha seats, including all 40 in Bihar, Nadda asserted that the eastern state has developed only under NDA rule, with a six-lane highway being built from Varanasi and Kolkata which will pass through the state.

''Prime Minister Narendra Modi's only aim is welfare of every person from the Dalit, tribal and backward sections of the society. The NDA government has brought a large section of the country's poor above the poverty line in the last 10 years. But INDIA bloc leaders want to give reservation on religious lines. The Congress is giving tickets to those belonging to 'tukde-tukde' gang,'' Nadda added.

In the last 10 years, under the leadership of PM Modi, the definition, culture and perception of politics have changed.

''Ten years ago, people used to say there would be no change in politics... There was an atmosphere of despair everywhere. Today, the common man has started saying that the country has changed and has moved on the path of development. Definition, culture and perception of politics have changed,'' Nadda said.

''India was the 11th largest economy when PM Modi came to power and now the country is the fifth largest economy, leaving behind the United Kingdom and many other countries. We will be the third largest economy by 2027,'' he said.

Highlighting growth statistics of the country under NDA rule, Nadda, said, ''Pharmaceutical and toy exports have surged... India has become the third-largest automobile market, surpassing Japan.''
