Launching his party's Lok Sabha poll campaign in West Bengal, Congress president Rahul Gandhi on Saturday, 23 March, trained his guns on both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, accusing them of failing to fulfill their promises.
Reiterating his "chowkidar chor hain" barb at Modi, the Congress president said,
‘Only rich people have chowkidars outside their houses. Farmers and the poor don’t have watchmen. He (Modi) is the ‘chowkidar’ of the corrupt and fugitives such as Nirav Modi, Mehul Choksi and Vijay Mallya.’
