Ghazipur, Uttar Pradesh, Dec 29 (IBNS) : Reacting to the Opposition's 'Chowkidar chor hai' slogan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that it is the Opposition which are thieves and can not sleep well because of the honest watchman.

"The Chowkidar (watchman) is honest and works day and night.... it is due to this watchman that the thieves are not able to sleep well," he said while addressing a rally at Ghazipur in Uttar Pradesh.

"To improve your future, your children’s future, your ‘chowkidar’ is working hard day and night with honesty and dedication," he said.

Modi asked the people to be wary of Congress and its "lies." He said though in Karnataka a promise was made, only 800 farmers’ loan have been waived. "What sort of deception is this," he asked.

The PM said It is for the first time in history that healthcare has been emphasized on so well andGhazipur will get new medical facilities.

"Ghazipur and nearby districts will also get facilities with the help of this medical college...we will make Uttar Pradesh a medical hub," he said.
