Bharatiya Janata Party's prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi on Wednesday stated that the Congress was now using all its weight to stop him from coming to power and hence was using dirty tricks as part of it.
Modi asked: "The ruling Congress party is feeling the heat to stop me from coming to power. Tell me will the Congress be able to stop me? Can it save its government?- the answer from the crowd came with a resounding 'No'."
"The Congress believes that if Modi comes to power then where will be its place. Should those people who have looted the country be pardoned? They are not shameful or concerned about it and hence continue to rule," Modi said at a rally in Kolkata.
"The dirty tricks department of the Congress is burning the midnight oil to find new ways of attacking me. Whatever they have used till now has all been used for the last ten years," Modi said this in an apparent reference to Priyanka Gandhi of late alleging him of practicing low-level of politics.
"Lately they have alleged that I introduced low-level politics. Those who come and take the heads of those who take away the heads of our soldiers to Pakistan and his widow seeks to get back his head on one hand in that situation the mother-son duo Government in Delhi serves chicken biriyani to Pakistan prime minister is low-level politics," Modi also added.
Modi raked up the Adarsh Housing Society scam and the Commonwealth games scams, not even stopping from doing corruption on toilet papers.
