(MENAFN- AsiaNet News) Prime Minister
Narendra Modi on Monday (May 13) launched a scathing attack on the opposition INDIA bloc during an election rally in Muzaffarpur Lok Sabha constituency of Bihar, labelling its leaders as "cowards" who are "scared of Pakistan's nuclear power". While not directly naming National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, PM Modi's remarks appeared to be a response to Abdullah's recent comments about Pakistan's nuclear capabilities.
"The INDIA bloc appears to be led by individuals who are fearful of Pakistan and haunted by the specter of its nuclear power," PM Modi said.

His statements come in the wake of Farooq Abdullah's remarks about Pakistan possessing nuclear weapons and not being weak. "If Pakistan doesn't wear bangles, we'll make them wear bangles. Earlier, I thought they didn't have food; now it seems they lack bangles too," PM Modi said.
Furthermore, the Prime Minister
criticised the opposition for their alleged soft stance towards Pakistan on terrorism
issues and their skepticism regarding surgical strikes. He also accused the Left allies of advocating for the dismantling of India's nuclear arsenal.
During another election rally in Hajipur Lok Sabha constituency, PM Modi highlighted the recovery of significant amounts of money in raids against politicians, stressing that the recovered funds belong to the nation's impoverished citizens.
Contrasting himself with his opponents, PM Modi declared that he has no political successors, asserting that the common people are his true heirs. He slammed parties like Congress and RJD for allegedly fostering extortion and kidnapping during their tenures, vowing to safeguard reservations and prevent any attempts to undermine them.
