Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said the Congress and corruption were "inseparable partners" and Christian Michel had hinted at the involvement of the grand old party's first "family" in the Agusta Westland chopper scam.

Addressing a rally in Dehradun, Modi pointed out that Michel, the alleged middleman arrested in the VVIP helicopter case, had disclosed two names to his interrogators.

"One was 'AP' and the other was 'FAM'. AP stands for Ahmed Patel and FAM stands for family. Have you heard of Ahmed Patel? Which family is he close to?" Modi asked the audience.

When he heard the crowd's response, Modi said: "You understood automatically. The family cannot tolerate the stern attitude of the 'chowkidar' (watchman)."
