In a scathing attack on Congress, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday charged it with looting the country, saying in five years of his government, he has brought the grand old party to the doorstep of jail.

Addressing a rally in Junagadh (Gujarat), he said, “Give me another five years, and I will ensure they (Congress leaders) are in jail.”
PM Modi also criticised the Congress for promising removal of sedition laws in its manifesto and dubbed it as ‘Dhakosla Patra’ (a document of hypocrisy).
“They want our army to be defenceless. They want to protect the ‘tukde-tukde gang’ — no matter how big their crime is, they have the right to get bail. Why are they (Congress) doing it? Are they preparing for jail? I have brought them to the doorstep of jail in five years. Give me another five years, and I will ensure they are in jail,” Modi said.

Requesting to the first-time voters of the state, PM Modi said dedicate your vote to a party committed to the security of the country.
“When you are going to cast your first vote, I urge you to dedicate that vote to the country, only to country’s interest and for the government committed to the security of the country,” he said.
PM Modi also held rallies in Songadh (Gujarat) and Panaji (Goa). Junagadh will go to poll on April 23 in the third phase. Results of all the Lok Sabha seats will be declared on May 23.
