The PM later in the day also launched an election campaign in Dhanbad by addressing a public meeting.
He appeared to be too confident of winning 400 seats in Lok Sabha upcoming elections and while addressing people repeated " Modi ki guarantee" several times during his 40 minute long speech .
At same time he asked people attending the public meeting to ensure to deliver " Modis pranam"( Modis greetings) to people whose respective neighbours who somehow failed to attend the public meeting .
He also criticised the JMM and Congress alliance government and asked people to chant Bharat Mata ki Jai at such a loud pitch so that it may reach people now in jail. Though he took no names but It's supposed that he meant this for former chief minister Hemant Soren
