Attacking the Congress on the issue of corruption, Modi accused the previous Congress-led government at the Centre of abusing subsidies worth Rs57,000 crore. The reason for this is that the country knows what the Congress government is like and what its intentions are,” he said. The anger of the public is coming out against corruption, bad law and order, for protection of women and daughters,” Modi added.
