Pak rebuilding Balakot to hide evidence of IAF air strike: Modi

In a free-wheeling interaction at a “Main Bhi Chowkidar’ event, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday attacked Congress dynasty, credibility of its “garibi hatao” slogans, and discomfort of dynasty with his popularity.

Replying to a question, Modi also said Balakot area in Pakistan is being reconstructed so as to hoodwink the world that no terror camps exited there and asserted that Indian Airforce at Balakot established that epicenter of terror was in Pakistan.

The event organised by the BJP was beamed across the country at 500 places where gatherings of party workers, professionals, chowkidars (watchmen), traders, farmers among others listened  to Modi and interacted with him through video-conferencing.

Attacking the Congress and “dynasty”, he said he had taken some of them close to the doors of jail in last five years and would need more time to land them behind bars.

In a swipe at the Congress poll symbol, Modi said he would not allow anyone to loot country’s wealth by saying “main kisiko panja rakhne nahin doonga..” (I will not allow anyone put his hands on India’s wealth.)

Asking why Congress disliked word “Chokidar”, the Prime Minister sought to explain that people feel good when a strong and stern policeman moves in a locality, but the same is not the feeling of thieves who wish for the cop’s early transfer.

“It is natural,” he said, adding that those who were rulers for generations have the feeling that this country and Government is their paternal property. “They are now grudging this chaiwala,” he quipped.

On Congress announcement of Rs 72,000 yearly direct to bank transfer scheme to 20 per cent of population, Modi asked people to scrutinise the track record and credibility of successive Congress Prime Ministers in implementing anti-poverty schemes.

He said while Jawaharlal Nehru sought to remove poverty, his daughter increased “garibi” while also raising the decibel level of “Garibi hatao slogan”. Her sons and remote control Congress Governments (Sonia and Manmohan Singh) and “Shahzada” too are doing the same, he added. 

“Voters should understand the repeated lies of four generations,” he said.

Modi said his last five years were spent in filling holes dug up by the Cong Government  and he requires next five years to construct a splendid building on the foundations he laid down in his first term.
