Sources said the emphasis on the slogan was an attempt to dilute the political fallout of developments in the Supreme Court. Lawyer and Congress spokesperson Abhishek Manu Singhvi has told the court Rahul would apologise. He will be rattled and will restrain himself from mouthing ‘chor hai’. This has entered deep into people’s hearts.”At Hoshangabad in Madhya Pradesh a few hours later, chants of “chowkidar chor hai” started as soon as Rahul took the mike. Chowkidar chor bhi hai, jhootha bhi hai.”Khera said every Congress worker would use this slogan as it is not only related to Rafale but also because the chowkidar has cheated the nation in every sphere of governance.
