They are running away from the issues we wanted to discuss for eliminating black money. They shouted slogans in order to save the corrupt”, he said.
Shri Narendra Modi said that people of Uttar Pradesh are tired of goondaism. “People who have formed government in the state back them. This will eliminate when the government is changed in Uttar Pradesh”, he stated further. Prime Minister Modi also said that it is the responsibility of political parties to set an example on non-corrupt practices and the donations received by them.
