Modi will not stop, action on corruption to continue: PM

Launching the Bharatiya Janata Party’s Lok Sabha election campaign in Uttar Pradesh from Meerut on Sunday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi came down heavily on the Opposition INDIA bloc on the issue of political corruption. “Modi’s mantra is bhrastachaar hatao, woh kehte hain bhrashtachari ko bachao,” he said at the Gaurav Samman rally held in honour of former Prime Minister Chaudhary Charan Singh, on whom the Bharat Ratna was conferred posthumously. Criticising the INDIA bloc, he said, “They can neither think about the welfare of the country’s soldiers nor farmers nor fishermen.” The Prime Minister also attacked the Congress for giving away Katchatheevu island to Sri Lanka. Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath addressed the rally and said, “People have faith in Modi’s guarantee and they will give him a third term as Prime Minister.” On his part, the Prime Minister said, “I have a deep association with Meerut as I started the election campaign in 2014 and 2019 here and now the first rally of the 2024 elections is being held here.” “The 2024 elections are not only about forming a government but this mandate will make India the third largest economic superpower in the world.
