Opposition leaders coming together to save themselves: Modi


Cuttack, May 26 (IANS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday attacked the opposition unity, saying the corrupt leaders were coming together "not to save the country but to save themselves", making an apprent attack on Congress President Rahul Gandhi and his mother Sonia Gandhi.

"Due to the committment of this government against the black money and corruption, people those who are out on bail in the Rs 5,000 corruption case and many others also involved in corruption cases have come together on the same platform," Modi said while addressing a rally here on the occasion of four years of completion of his government.

He was apparently referring to Gandhis taking bail in the National Herald case and opposition leaders coming together in Bengaluru during the Karnataka Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy's swearing-in ceremony.

"As we promised four years ago about zero tolerance towards corruption, four former Chief Ministers are behind the bars," Modi said.

The Prime Minister also said that this is a committed government instead of the confused government.

"The way in which our government is committed against corruption, this has made the enemies good friends," he said.

"The people of the country are watching them."

"These leaders have not come together for the country but they have come together to save themselves and their families."

He alleged that the opposition leaders want to destabilise the current government. "But people know everything," Modi said.

The Prime Minister also said that the President (Ram Nath Kovind), Vice President (M. Venkaiah Naidu) and the Pradhan Sewak (Prime Servant) of the country come from a very humble and poor background.

"We have seen the days of poverty. And we were not born with silver spoon. In fact we did not see the spoon in our initial days," Modi said, in an apparent jibe at Rahul Gandhi.

The Prime Minister also said that in last four years, the investigating agencies have carried out searches at over 3,000 locations and unearthed over Rs 53,000 crore of the undisclosed money.

Modi claimed that the government even seized properties over Rs 35,000 crore after the Benami Properties Bill was passed by the government.

"It was the committment of the government that passed the Benami Properties Bill, instead of the confused government which delayed it for over 30 years," he added.

    Has this man nothing to say in his speeches other than do congress-bashing? Analyze his speeches! 90-95% is about painting opposition in bad light and projecting himself as a saint. We wish he talked about his achievements or presented his report card. That would be worth listening! We are sick of his speech-stuff and meaningless slogans.

    Instead of bringing back black money stashed about as per election promise,
    Lalit Modi, Nirav Modi, Mallya, cleansed all public sector banks and ran abroad.
    We are watching!
    That time Bharat bandh for raising crude oil prices but now no problems, we are happy with sky rocking oil prices. Great service to the nation! National Treasuries are over flowing!

    Modi is correct, These leaders headed by corrupt Congress want to come together to save themselves knowing very well many will be in jail if Modi is elected. Congress cannot win alone. They have to beg other parties to come and challenge BJP bit they will loose.

    Oh ! four years were not enough to put them in jail. You want another term for preparation. What kind of jail are you guys building ?

    Even the high security Egg-cell for Kasab did not take this long to build !

    Diago, Modi must stay in power just to save his & his fat buddy. It's not for the love of Hindu or Hindutva. Patriotism is a commodity for them. They don't value human life. They want people to be ignorant, which is why they always bring in mythology, glorify it & try to humiliate logic & modern science. What else one can expect from a person who left school at the age of 11 & ran away from home.

    If Modiji taken note of opposition unity means that he is getting sleepless nights! Even without opposition unity, Karnataka has shown that Modi magic is slowly fading and people are now understanding the tricks being played on them!. If congress and JDS had united before elections, BJP would have had a complete wash out!.
