Under strong Modi govt, terrorists killed on their own turf, says PM

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said under the "strong" BJP-led government at the Centre, the country's security forces are eliminating terrorists on their own turf.

Addressing an election rally here, Modi said the echoes of 'Phir Ek Baar Modi Sarkar' were being heard across the country as people have seen the benefits of having a stable government.

"Enemies took advantage and terrorism spread whenever there were weak and unstable governments in the country. But under a strong Modi government, our forces are killing terrorists on their own turf," Modi said.

The prime minister said he stopped the corrupt from looting the country and their anger against him was at its height.

He also said the "weak" Congress governments in the past could not strengthen the border infrastructure.

Now roads and tunnels are being built along the borders, Modi said.
