Taking a dig at the Opposition parties on the issue of corruption, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday said that his opponents were now holding rallies to save the corrupt instead of electoral campaigning.
“I am also busy saving my country and my family from loot. And that’s why I say remove corruption. What do they say? They say save the corrupt. They are not holding election rallies. They are holding rallies to save the corrupt,” said Mr. Modi, at a rally in Chhote Amabal, a village in the outskirts of Bastar district of Chhattisgarh.
The Prime Minister was indirectly referring to the March 31 rally of the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA) at Delhi’s Ramila Maidan, where its constituents expressed solidarity with Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal and former Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren. Both the leaders have been arrested in separate cases by the Enforcement Directorate.
