'Rivals know naya Bharat ghar mein ghus ke marta hai': PM Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday said that the new India is fearless and takes stern action if (and when) provoked.

"Today, even the enemy is aware that this is new India under Modi which is fearless and takes stern action when the need arises. They know that the new India strikes within enemy territory," he said in an apparent reference to counterstrikes in Pakistan after terror attacks. PM Modi was addressing a rally in Rajasthan's Churu.

Referring to Modi's guarantee, he said that Rajasthan is an example of how the government's guarantees were fulfilled and at what speed. "Modi's guarantee is being discussed in the country. Rajasthan is an example of how Modi's guarantees were fulfilled and at what speed. I gave a guarantee that cylinders for the poor will be cheaper, it has been fulfilled. An inquiry will be conducted against the Congress paper leak industry, it has been completed," he added.

Highlighting the work done by the BJP government in the last 10 years, the Prime Minister said it was just a trailer and a lot more is yet to come. "No matter how much has happened, whatever has happened till now is a trailer. What Modi has done so far, it was just an appetizer and the main course is yet to come," he told the gathering.

Attacking the Congress, PM Modi said that the Indian economy was in a poor state when the party was in power. "The economy had collapsed due to the Congress' big scams and loot. India's reputation in the world was declining ... Even after so many decades of Independence, people were struggling for basic necessities of life," he said.

Referring to the law on 'triple talaq', the Prime Minister said that it has not only saved the lives of Muslim sisters but also of all families of the community.
