Narendra Modi: You gave Congress 60 years, give BJP 60 months to change India's future

NEW DELHI: Promising to 'wipe tears of people' in the country, BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Friday said, "You gave Congress 60 years, give BJP just 60 months." "We will change India's future and bring about development in 60 months," Modi said.

Addressing a rally in Jhansi, Uttar Pradesh, Modi said "I have not come here to cry, neither am I here to tell tales of people who cry." Modi went on to say that he doesn't desire to be the Prime Minister, just a watchman. "Don't make me the PM, make me the watchman. I will be the watchman who will never let anyone steal India's treasure," he said.

In a direct attack on Rahul Gandhi, Modi hit out at Congress Vice President's assurance of providing a full 'roti' to the people of India. "It took Congress 60 years to reach from half a roti to a full roti. They will take another 100 years to provide food that is able to fill people's stomach," Modi stormed.

Taking on Rahul Gandhi for his comments on Pakistan's ISI approaching Muzaffarnagar riot victims to lure them to terrorism, Modi said, "How can India's IB share information with Rahul Gandhi?." "Why does IB report to Rahul Gandhi when he hasn't taken an oath of secrecy? How can ISI go to Muzzafarnagar," Modi questioned.

He asked Gandhi to declare names of Indian youth who the latter thinks has joined hands with ISI. "It seems as if Congress is a news agency. Why is the government not doing anything if these claims are true," Modi asked.

Raking up Rahul Gandhi's statement that he was angered after his grandmother Indira Gandhi's death, Modi asked, "Why doesn't he say anything about 1984 anti sikh riots. Did that not anger him?" "Anyone who believes in humanity cannot forgive Rahul Gandhi's speech," he hit out.

Hitting out at Congress, Samajhwadi Party (SP) and BSP, Modi said, "Sabka - Samajhwadi Party, BSP, and Congress rob everyone." "The package for development of UP's Bundelkhand has been pocketed by centre and state government," he added. "It is time to bid goodbye to SP and BSP," he said.
