Raid My House And Search It, If I’m Wrong: Modi

Stating that the law is equal for all, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that if he is found guilty of any wrongdoing, his house should be raided too. Speaking at an election campaign meeting in Madhya Pradesh following the raids at close aides residence of MP Chief Minister Kamal Nath, Modi said “Law is equal for all. Raids my house and search it, if I have done wrong.”

Referring to the recent raids in Madhya Pradesh by Income Tax sleuths, he said: “They (the Congressmen) were complaining that they were targeted by the agencies. They were targeted because they indulged in wrongdoing.” The raids also recovered a trail of cash being distributed for poll campaigning by the Congress, alleged BJP workers. “Ek toh chori upar se seenajori (They indulge in theft and then raise their voice too despite being guilty),” he said.

The BJP government has been accused by non-BJP allies and states that it has been raiding their residences and businesses in the name of wrongdoing. This, according to the Opposition, is an act of political vendetta by the Modi-Shah duo, they say. However, Modi accused the Congress and its allies of the way they function with such ill-gotten wealth. “This stolen money is being sent to Tughluq road (referring to the Gandhi family),” he said, adding that it was being used for Congress’ electioneering.

During his speech, Modi was again found violating the Model Code of Conduct by bringing the Balakot airstrikes and the BJP government’s tough stand on terrorist attacks in India.
