PM’s new election slogan: Main bhi chowkidar

Prime Minister Narendra Modion Saturday urged his supporters to

take the‘ mai nb hi chow kid ar ’( I am a watchman too) pledge, saying he was not alone in the fight against graft and social evils.

“Your chowkidar is standing firm & serving the nation. But, I am not alone. Everyone who is fighting corruption, dirt, social evils is a chowkidar. Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a chowkidar. Today, every Indian is saying - #MainBhiChowkidar,” he wrote on Twitter.

He also posted a little over threeminute video to drive home his message.

Modi has often described himself as a chowkidar who will neither allow corruption nor get corrupted himself.

Congress President Rahul Gandhi has been repeatedly hurling the

chowkidar chor hai (watchman is the thief) jibe at Modi to claim irregularities and favouritism in the Rafale fighter jet deal, a charge the BJP-led government has denied. He has also attacked the prime minister over the Balakot attack. Replying to this, Finance Minister Arun Jaitley said the Opposition had scored a self-goal by asking for proof of damage following air strike on the Balakot terror camp.
