PM Modi launches "Main Bhi Chowkidar" campaign, aims Lok Sabha Elections

New Delhi : Ahead of the national elections, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has launched Bharatiya Janata Party's "Main Bhi Chowkidar" campaign. PM released a video with the same title on Twitter and said, "Your Chowkidar is standing firm and serving the nation".

Interestingly, Congress chief Rahul Gandhi had slammed PM Narendra Modi, a couple of days back, saying "Chowkidar Chor Hai (watchman is a thief)".

"Five years ago, chowkidar said he wanted to fight corruption. He said he wanted to make it a 'Congress-mukt Bharat'. Today, the slogan of 'Acche Din Aayenge' has changed to 'Chowkidar chor hai'," Mr Gandhi said at a recent rally.

"But, I am not alone. Everyone who is fighting corruption, dirt, social evils is a Chowkidar. Everyone working hard for the progress of India is a Chowkidar," PM Modi said in a tweet that also had the video attached.

The video ends with the appeal to people to join PM Modi's "Main Bhi Chowkidar" programme on March 31.

The national elections, to be held in seven phases, will begin April 11. Results will be declared on May 23.
