"Those who have ruled the state for 25 years, they must give an account of the work done by them but they are questioning me," said Modi.
He also accused the Nitish Kumar-led Government in Bihar of not using the funds allocated by the Centre for state's development.
"Now Nitish ji is only using Rs 2.7 lakh crore. So where is the Rs 1.6 lakh crore going. Will this go for "chaara"?," he said in his address.
