PM Narendra Modi's war-cry for 2019: This Chowkidaar won't stop
What's the story
On Saturday, the second day of BJP's National Executive meeting at Delhi's Ramlila Maidan, the top brass of the saffron party launched a blitzkrieg on the opposition with Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying 'the chowkidaar won't stop'. Hitting out at the mahagathbandhan, PM Modi said they came together for a majboor (helpless) government but the citizens wanted a majboot (strong) government.
Attacking Congress
On 'Chowkidaar hi chor hai', PM Modi has a comeback
Amid cheers, PM Modi said he wouldn't stop despite the name-calling by Congress. The grand old party has started using the phrase 'Chowkidaar hi chor hai (guard is the thief)' for him. "It has happened for the first time in the history of the country that a government that came into power with an absolute majority hasn't been accused of corruption," he added.

PM Modi talks about two 'processes' to get loans
Continuing his attack, PM Modi claimed earlier there were two ways to secure loans: Common way and Congress' way. He said while common people got loans through banks, Congress helped its 'greedy friends' and gave them loans. PM Modi added the Centre did away with this process. On caste-agnostic reservations, PM Modi said it was for youth who were left behind in the race.

Congress jailed Amit Shah, reminds PM Modi
PM Modi was clearly not done. He said Congress feels all institutions including RBI, CAG, and CBI are incorrect. Now, it's a battle between sultanate and Constitution, PM Modi claimed. "When I was the CM of Gujarat, they tried to attack me using their agencies. They even jailed Amit Shah," he added. Other BJP leaders explained why PM Modi should take office again.
Shah's words
Shah tells what Congress gave the nation
BJP President Amit Shah 'listed the achievements' of Congress. He said, "Narendra Modi government has been working towards freeing India from the Congress' three contributions to India: nepotism, classism, and appeasement." He expressed confidence on the cadres saying they would ensure PM Modi wins again. Reportedly, 12,000 cadres from across the country attended the meet which kick-started on Friday.

Setting tone
What kind of PM do you want, asks PM Modi
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said the government delivered its promises. Defense Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said no major terror attacks happened since PM Modi came to power in 2014. Finally, setting the tone for Lok Sabha elections, PM Modi asked the crowd: "Do you want a servant, who works 18 hours for you, or the one who goes on a sabbatical when the country needs him the most?" The country will decide soon.
