Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday inaugurated several developmental projects worth Rs 5,900 crore in Bihar, where Assembly elections are scheduled later this year.

In a scathing attack on the Congress and the RJD, Modi said that 'License Raj' kept Bihar poor for a long time, with the Dalits being the biggest victims.

"Some families became millionaires and billionaires by showing these people false dreams of being free from poverty... In the coming time, three crore more houses will be built. 

I told you I will not stop at the work of service. Modi will not sleep peacefully and will keep working day and night because you people are my family. 

It is my dream that not even a single member of my family should be left behind or stay in misery," the prime minister said at a public rally in Siwan.

He added that Bihar needed to maintain momentum to ensure progress of the state, adding that people who brought 'Jungle Raj' were trying to return to power and repeat old misdeeds.

More than 1.5 crore houses have been provided with electricity connection. Water connection has been provided to 1.5 crore houses. 

More than 45 thousand Common Service Centres have been created
