Prime Minister Narendra Modi said there is no blot of corruption on him in past 25 years either as Gujarat chief minister or in current role. He added he hasn’t amassed any wealth to be inheritors.
Addressing an election campaign in Jharkhand, the prime minister said, “There is no blot of corruption on me in past 25 years as chief minister and prime minister. I don't own a home or even a bicycle, but, corrupt Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, Congress leaders have amassed huge wealth for their children.” The prime minister charged Opposition party leaders are gathering everything for their children inherit.
The prime minister said the public should realise the power of their vote and it has enabled him to scrap Article 370 and wipe out terror. Modi charged Pakistan are praying for Congress's ‘Shehzada’ to becomes the prime minister. “In the Congress government, there used to be bomb blasts, terrorists used to fire bullets and the government used to send them love letters. Pakistan used to send more terrorists than love letters. One vote of yours gave me so much power that I said, 'Enough is enough' as soon as I came (to power).”
Modi added, “This is new India. 'Ghar mein ghus ke maarta hai'...The surgical strike and the Balakote strike shook Pakistan. There was a time when after a terror attack, the weak Congress government used to cry all over the world, now Pakistan is crying all over the world and is shouting 'Bachao, Bachao'. Leaders in Pakistan are praying that Congress' Shehzada becomes the prime minister. But, the strong India only wants a strong government now.”
Modi said his life experiences inspired the welfare schemes during the past 10 years. “When I meet the beneficiaries, I get tears of joy,” he said.
