Bihar election results: Constructive M-Y ousted divisive M-Y, says PM Modi

NEW DELHI: Leading BJP's celebrations over the party's impressive performance in Bihar, PM Narendra Modi on Friday said the state's people have given a befitting reply to the "divisive M-Y (Muslim-Yadav)" with another 'M-Y' (Mahila-Youth), a constructive and positive combine, to thwart the return of "Jungle-Raj".

"This victory has given a new positive meaning to the 'M-Y', that is 'Mahila and Youth'. Bihar has the highest youth population belonging to all castes and religions. Their wishes, aspirations and dreams have destroyed the communal 'M-Y' formula of 'Jungle Raj'," Modi said in his address to BJP workers in victory celebrations at the party headquarters here.


Waving a "gamcha" to greet BJP workers, Modi chanted 'Chhathi Maiya ki Jai' and also used the Bhojpuri lingo 'garda uda diya', meaning the people of Bihar, with this massive victory and their unshakable confidence, have taken the state by storm.

Doubling down the attack on Congress, the PM coined a new term, 'MMC' for the opposition party, saying it has become "Muslim League Maoist Congress", a remark reflecting concerns within Congress too as Sonia Gandhi, after the 2014 Lok Sabha poll loss, had attributed her party's defeat for being identified as "pro-Muslim". "Today's Congress has become a Muslim League Maoist Congress (MMC), its entire agenda is run only on this," Modi said.

The PM said Congress is headed for another split as a large section of the party is unhappy with the "agenda" of "Namdaar" (Rahul Gandhi), and they are set to part ways. He said even Congress's allies are beginning to understand that Congress is drowning everyone in its negative politics. "That is why, during the Bihar elections, I said that the 'naamdar' of Congress is practising to drown himself and others in the Bihar elections by taking a dip in the pond," he said.

Modi hailed the leadership of CM Nitish Kumar and the contribution of all NDA leaders, including Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha.
