"Country will never forget how Congress family insulted him": PM Modi remembers Sitaram Kesri on death anniversary

Begusarai (Bihar) [India], October 24 (ANI): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday remembered former Congress president Sitaram Kesri on his death anniversary and accused the Congress leadership of insulting him.
PM Modi said the country will never forget how the Congress family humiliated Kesri, who was from Bihar, by allegedly locking him in a bathroom and removing him from the post of party president. He added the incident shows how Congress sidelines Dalits and backward class leaders for the sake of its own family interests.
Addressing the public rally in Begusarai, PM Modi said, "Today is the death anniversary of former Congress President Sitaram Kesri. The country will never forget how this Congress family insulted him. Today reminds us of the lengths Congress will go to in order to take away the rights of Dalits and backward classes. For these people, only their own family is paramount."
"Congress Party President Sitaram Kesri was the pride of our Bihar. This family locked Sitaram Kesri in the bathroom of his home. Not only that, they picked him up and threw him on the footpath. They snatched the post of Congress President from him," PM Modi said.
PM also criticised the RJD's 'jungle-raj' in Bihar. He asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government transformed the "jungle raj" into "good governance" and now the time has come to transform "good governance" into "prosperity" across Bihar.
Addressing the public rally in Begusarai, PM Modi said, "We transformed 'jungle raj' into good governance. Now the time has come to transform good governance into prosperity. I have come to seek your blessings for Bihar's prosperity... It was the month of October 2005, when you freed Bihar from jungle raj and chose good governance... You must understand the power of your vote, and your vote will determine Bihar's prosperity."
Bihar will go to the polls in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
