Hitting out at the Opposition for accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of corruption in Rafale deal, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said no one can question Modi's honesty and rival parties should desist from "hoodwinking and misleading" the people.

Singh said those levelling "baseless and unfounded" allegations should answer that Modi would amass wealth "for whom, his wife, children? Who is there? Whom will he give it to?"
"I feel very hurt. I have known Modi for long... you can level other allegations if you want -- that Modi has worked less or he could have done more -- but no one can raise questions on the prime minister's honesty and intention. You should not do politics by misleading people," the minister said at an interaction with intellectuals to seek suggestions for the BJP's Sankalp Patra (manifesto) for the upcoming Lok Sabha election
"Politics becomes 'mukti' (liberation) if it goes into the hands of revolutionaries like Chandrashekhar Azad, Bhagat Singh and Khudiram Bose."
