Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday accused the Congress of an “election scam”, claiming that the party had looted the money meant “for the poor and pregnant women” in the country. Modi said the Opposition party is known by many names as far as scams are concerned.
The prime minister said his government had brought many Opposition leaders to the doorstep of jails in the last five years, and if he is elected again, they will be inside prisons. “Now, it has got a new name, but with proof,” Modi said at a rally in Gujarat’s Junagadh. “The Congress is indulging in a ‘Tughlaq Road Chunavi ghotala [election scam]’, in which money meant for the poor is being usurped for their own leaders. Money meant for pregnant women is looted.”
