Corrupt people are now scared of the watchman’s guard: PM Modi

Guwahati, Feb 9 (IBNS) : Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday hit out at the Congress and said that the corrupt people are now scared from the watchman’s guard.

While addressing a public rally held at Changsari near Guwahati, PM Modi said the entire country is now watching how the corrupt people are scared from the watchman’s guard and are crying in the name of Modi and Modi every morning.

“They will not speak how to advance Assam, what will be done for the North East, what are the plans for the country. But the competition is going on who can abuse ModI more",  the Prime Minister said.

Modi said these people are busy plaguing and provoking  society.

“But, we have stood for Assam and Assam's development,” Modi said.

“All of you see how we  strictly dealt with the people who have robbed the poor. Those who are fighting with the security of the country are being dealt with strictly. Those who ran away from the country following scam, are being brought back, the laws of India are being handled. The previous government has made corruption a system. But the government has given a strong message by taking action against the corrupt people."

The Prime Minister said during the BJP regime Bharat Ratna award  was conferred on two of Assam's sons Gopinath Bordoloi and Bhupen Hazarika.

“I would like to ask the people of BC and AD i.e. those who glorify Congress that why you have played the devious game of not recognizing the true gems of the country for decades. Why did it happen that for some people it took decades to honor them. The people of the country are seeking this answer. Bhupen Da has played an important role in reaching Assamese language and culture to the country and the world and has also raised voice in favour of  the deprived and exploited people. But there was  decades of delay in identifying the real gms of India, who contributed so much to the country,” Modi said.
