“You have made the policy and taken the decision and when Modi exposed the secret and your hidden agenda came out, you are trembling,” he said.
The Prime Minister charged that the Congress is stuck in the quagmire of its vote bank and does not care about the Constitution.
“It is written in their manifesto that they will survey the wealth. Their leader had said in a speech that X-ray of wealth will be done. This means that if something is kept in a box or hidden in a wall, it will be searched through X-ray. Then they will capture all your property which is more than required and then distribute it among the people,” he said.
