Tearing into the Congress-JDS coalition in Karnataka over its alleged corruption and dynasty politics, Prime Minister Narendra Modi Friday dubbed it a "20 per cent government", saying their only mission was "commission."
Intensifying his campaign blitz in Karnataka, Modi also asserted there was a wave across the country for the return of the BJP-led NDA government in the Lok Sabha polls, which was between "Rashtravad (nationalism) and Pariwarvad (dynasty)."
On Revanna's remarks that he would retire from politics if Modi came back to power, the prime minister said "Do you believe them? Will these people speak the truth any time?"
On the response to his rallies across the country and the surging crows at the meeting here, Modi said, "This scene shows which way the wind is blowing."
Modi stopped his speech four or five times as the crowds continued to swell and surged forward chanting "Modi, Modi."
"There is chaos (afra tafri) in West Bengal, they are indulging in killing...but people phir ek baar."
Accusing Congress of having looted the money over which children and pregnant women had their rights, to "buy votes," he said "they committed another corruption for this Lok Sabha polls, called the Tuglaq Raod Election scam."
