Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday urged people to take ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ pledge, saying he is not alone in the fight against graft and social evils. In a tweet, Mr. Modi said, he is standing firm and serving the nation, and everyone who is fighting against corruption, dirt, social evils and working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidar.
Mr. Modi’s tweet was an apparent attack on Congress President Rahul Gandhi, who has been taking pot-shots at the Prime Minister for calling himself a chowkidar. Mr. Modi also posted a short video on his Twitter account, asking people to join ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ campaign on the 31st of this month.
The Prime Minister has termed himself nation’s chowkidar who never allows corruption. On the other hand, Rahul Gandhi kept taking digs at Mr Modi. Reacting to Mr. Modi’s tweet, Mr. Gandhi termed it as a defensive one.
