Country will win fight against corruption, says PM Modi in Bahraich Parivartan Rally
11 December, Bahraich
Prime Minister Narendra Modi today said that the country would win the fight against corruption in the end and that the guilty would not go unpunished.
Addressing the Parivartan Rally in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, on his mobile phone from Lucknow as his chopper could not reach there due to bad weather, the Prime Minister said those opposing his demonetisation move were promoting corruption only.
Mr Modi said that the BJP was committed to end Goonda Raj in Uttar Pradesh. “For Uttar Pradesh to progress, poverty and ‘Goonda Raj’ need to be removed. You must have seen that my Government is chasing those people who have stashed black money. My Government is committed to empower the poor,” he said to the people his 10-minute speech.
“The Congress, SP and BSP are speaking in the same tone against the demonetisation move even as we are fighting against corruption,” he said.
PM said, “I want discussion on denonetisation in Parliament but Opposition is running away. Country will win in the fight against corruption.”
He said the demonetisation drive will not cause any problem to the honest but the corrupt are not going to be spared. “There is time to mend yourself as law is not going to spare you,” PM warned the corrupt.
“The Government is of the poor and for the poor and those who had looted the poor would not go unpunished,” he stated.
Modi made it clear that BJP would fulfill the dreams of the people against corruption and not allow anyone to promote corruption.
“Greetings to you all who have reached the rally spot braving the chilly weather. Unfortunately my chopper could not land there and I could not meet you all ,” he said. Telling the people that he was using his mobile phone to address them, PM asked that people to use their mobile phones as a bank to meet their cash requirements to end corruption.
During the ‘mobile speech’ of the PM all the BJP leaders on the dais kept standing. Earlier, UP BJP President Keshav Prasad Maurya had announced the cancellation of the PM’s programme due to bad weather but assured that Mr Modi would very soon visit the place.
Later, Mr Modi departed for New Delhi on his special aircraft.
