NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday expressed his confidence in winning the general election and said that watchman is not an identity recognized by a uniform, but it is the spirit behind the word.
Amid shouting of slogans ‘Main bhi Chowkidar’ at Talkatora Stadium where Modi interacted with people throughout the country via video conferencing, Modi said watchman is not an identity recognized by a uniform but the spirit forming the essence of the word.
“In 2014, when the BJP gave him the responsibility to visit every corner of the nation, I told the people that the responsibility of Delhi means you trust a watchman,” said the Prime Minister.
“Once again, the people of the country are going to give us the opportunity to serve the country,” Narendra Modi said while addressing the ‘Main Bhi Chowkidar’ programme.
Narendra Modi said the people of the country do not need the “king.” “Today the people are liking the Chowkidar.”
“The teacher is a big caretaker (watchman). He protects the next generation. I salute such chowkidars,” Modi said.
“If a teacher performs his duty, then the future of the student is secured. If a policeman performs his duty, the problems are resolved. And in that sense, public participation is the main reason of the success of my country,” Modi said.
“I had said my effort would be not to allow the public money to be wasted. As a watchman, I will discharge my responsibility,” Modi said.
Narendra Modi said that ever since he has been entrusted with the responsibility to lead the nation, he has tried his best to protect the nation’s wealth from the corrupt.
“We are all Chowkidars, committed to a strong and prosperous India”, Modi said.
He said people have to be Chowkidars to build a strong government and work in the spirit of chowkidar to take the country forward.
Modi responded to various questions from various people as well as supporters who attended the video-conferencing. (IANS)
