Earlier today, PM Modi said that the NDA government would not spare those who looted Bihar.
“The NDA government will not spare those who looted Bihar. I guarantee the people of Bihar that those who looted the poor and exploited land in exchange for jobs will face justice. The countdown to their jail journey has begun. Once their helicopter rides end, their prison terms will start. The NDA government will not spare those who looted Bihar. This is Modi Ki Guarantee!” PM Modi said.
“These INDI Alliance politicians will do anything for their political interests. They remain silent when Biharis are insulted.

No. RJD lacks the courage to challenge Congress on this insult to Biharis,” he said.
