The prime minister made the averment at a rally in Bihar's Purnea district, which shares its borders with Nepal and Bangladesh, saying the poll outcome 'on June 4 will decide the fate of the Seemanchal region' in the state

"Vote bank politics has allowed illegal immigration to go unchecked in the Seemanchal region, leading to grave security risks and to the detriment of the poor, including Dalits, living in the region. Many times they have been attacked and their houses have been set on fire," said Modi

He added, "Those who are opposing the CAA should know, Modi is not going to be stopped or be scared"

The PM's address at Purnea came on the heels of another election meeting he addressed in Gaya. His speeches at both places were marked by fervent references to the Constitution and Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar

"I feel indebted to the poor, backward classes, the Dalits as I have come from among them. And I feel indebted to Babasaheb Ambedkar whose Constitution allowed someone like me to reach where I am," Modi said

Notably, the impassioned references to the Constitution came a day after Lalu Prasad, whose RJD is the principal opponent of the NDA in Bihar, had alleged that the BJP was aiming at changing the Constitution, citing utterances by many leaders of the saffron party in the recent past

Unsurprisingly, the PM's speech at both places was marked by sharp attacks on the RJD, which he accused of having ushered in 'jungle raj' while it was in power in Bihar

He also declared that "in the next five years the NDA government's crackdown on corruption will continue"
