Modiji works for 18 hours daily, he said, adding in contrast, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi dashes off to foreign destinations when the mercury shoots up in the summer. His party and his mother then look for him, the BJP chief said, taking potshots at Gandhi. He asked people to vote for Modi as the country was safe in his hands.
"During the previous regime of Sonia-Manmohan, our jawans were slaughtered and their heads were taken away. But the previous UPA government kept mum," he said.
However, things have changed under the Modi government, Shah said. He said after the Pulwama terror attack, in which 40 CRPF men attained martyrdom, Pakistan, fearing a surgical strike, increased vigil at the border.
But Modi, who has a 56-inch chest, gave a free hand to the Air Force and our jawans bombed a terror camp at Balakot in Pakistan and blew away terrorists, he said.
