JP Nadda hits out at China, Pak in Bihar rally: 'Panic in Beijing as India building roads'

BJP chief JP Nadda on Thursday stated that there is a state of panic in China at the moment because PM Modi has covered the border area by constructing a 4,700 km-long road from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh in the last five years. He also said that the jawans of the country have given an answer to the maladministration of Pakistan.

'Befitting reply to maladministration of Pakistan'

Addressing an election rally in Bihar's Aurangabad, he said, "At this time there is a panic in China, that is because Modi Ji has covered the border area by making 4,700 km road from Arunachal Pradesh to Ladakh in the last five years." "The country is moving ahead at a very fast pace. The leadership of PM Modi has given a befitting reply to the maladministration of Pakistan. In the same language, the soldiers of the country have given an answer to China and told how India is going under the leadership of Modi Ji," he added.

Nadda further said, "The NDA government under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has done the work of liberating people from 'Lalu's jungle raj'. "The state, which had previously being run on 'loot order', is now running following law and order," he added.
