Photo: PTISundernagar/Kangra (HP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi Saturday hinted at a crackdown on ‘benami’ properties, and said the Congress is worried as such assets of its leaders will not be spared in his government’s action. I am going to create a situation that they (Congress leaders) would not be able to reclaim their benami assets,” he said. “I tried to get some information from Congress leaders... some (Congress leaders) lost their bags of Rs500 notes, some of Rs1000 notes. Their worry is that the benami assets like land, flats, shops they have kept hidden like Rs500 and Rs1000 notes are not going to be spared. Therefore, they are creating an atmosphere so that before Modi raises a storm over benami assets, they observe blackmoney day and mislead the people,” he said.
