Rangapara/Kalinagar: In a veiled reference to truant liquor baron Vijay Mallya, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said his government had tightened the screws on bank defaulters and that no one would be spared if there is any attempt to defraud financial institutions.
"You know how the rich have usurped public money. My government has tightened the screws on bank defaulters. They are sweating due to the fear of going to jail and are fleeing. But no one will be spared," Modi said at a rally in Rangapara in Assam's Sonitpur district.
"This money belongs to the poor of this country and every paisa defaulted will be realised. I will not allow this loot," Modi said. He said his government has done what successive Congress governments could not do for the poor through Jan Dhan Yojana.
Modi added that his government is committed to ending the middlemen raj in running the government. "You may abuse me as much you like, but I will not allow middlemen's involvement in running the government."
The PM, who addressed two election rallies in Rangapara assembly constituency in Sonitpur district and Kalinagar in Hailakandi district, also spelled out his Assam development mantra - bachcho ki padhai, nojawano ki kamai aur bujurgo ki dawai (education for children, income for youths and healthcare for senior citizens).
Addressing a BJP rally at Thakurbari in Rangapara, Modi promised Rs 2,000 crore for improving road network in districts spanning over the northern banks of the Brahmaputra where more than eight assembly constituencies, including Rangapara, are located.
The sleepy Thakurbari, surrounded by lush green tea gardens, woke up to a cacophony of political slogans as the place got ready to receive the Prime Minister. As the PM's helicopter hovered over, the crowd went delirious chanting, "Modi, Modi, Modi!" From the dais, Modi said a storm is gaining momentum to 'uproot' the ruling Congress as the poll dates are drawing closer.
"A poor person never asks for a palace. He/she just needs a decent house to live. My dream is that no poor family is left without a house by 2022. I know it's a very big task as our country is also big. I will accomplish it even if I have to empty my tijori (exchequer)," said Modi.
He said the electorate have to give absolute majority to BJP for expediting development in the state. "Today, America, Japan, Germany and other countries are in praise of India. This has not happened because of Modi. It became possible because of the absolute majority the people of India gave to BJP in 2014. Similarly, if BJP is given absolute majority in the assembly polls, there will be jay jay kar (praise) of Assam, too, across India," he said while hitting out at former PM Manmohan Singh, an MP from Assam, and chief minister Tarun Gogoi for "failing" to develop the state.
Modi said 'legal steps' are being taken for the security of people of this region, a Muslim-dominated area near the Bangladesh border, without mentioning any anything about a law in Parliament for granting citizenship to refugees who came to India after March 25, 1971, due to religious perse cution in Bangladesh.
