At a public rally in Bettiah, Bihar, Prime Minister Modi talked about the vision of a progressive India under the NDA government, saying, "On one hand, India is becoming a new India, on the other hand, the INDI Alliance of RJD and Congress is still in the 20th century. NDA government says that it wants to make every house a solar house... But the INDI Alliance is still relying on a 'Lalten'.
