Addressing an election meeting here, he said he would use every law of the land and if necessary amend the laws and take help of any country to bring back the black money.

"I will bring back every rupee and use it for the welfare of poor," he said.

Modi also promised that the government would use part of the money to pay back to salaried class who are honestly paying their taxes.

"The government will reward the honest and punish the dishonest," he said.
