PM Modi targets Rahul Gandhi over association with UK firm

Sagar, May 5 Prime Minister Narendra Modi Sunday targeted on Rahul Gandhi for his alleged association with UK firm Backops, saying the Congress president's "scams" were being "unearthed from land, air and water".

Referring to Gandhi, Modi while speaking at rally in Madhya Pradesh's Sagar said the "naamdar" gets exposed every time he tries to malign him and the more he is focused on, the more 'lotus' will blossom.

The Home Ministry as of late served a notice on Gandhi, saying it got a portrayal from BJP MP Subramanian Swamy, asserting that an organization named Backops Limited was enrolled in the United Kingdom in 2003 with the Congress chief as one of its directors.

The Home Ministry said Swamy's letter also mentioned that in the British organization's yearly profits petitioned for October 10, 2005 and October 31, 2006, Gandhi's date of birth has been given as June 19, 1970 and had declared his nationality as British.

Alluding to Gandhi's alleged association with the company, Modi stated, "His scams are being unearthed from land, air and water."

"The 'naamdar' in an interview mentioned that his aim was to malign my picture. In any case, more the mud he tosses at me, better the lotus will blossom," he said.

Modi said even as Gandhi abused him, the last himself was getting exposed.

"He owned a company called Backops in England which was closed in 2009. In any case, in 2011, a partner in the company got a submarine deal contract. The government was of the Congress. How did the Backops partner get the arrangement, what was his involvement in protection contract?" Modi said.

Modi alleged that due to Congress' "criminal detachment", the nation has been denied of fundamental civilities like pucca houses, power, toilets and bank accounts during the first 25 years of Independence

"Had the Congress stayed in power, I am confident that basic amenities would have alluded the nation for another 100 years," he said.

Modi said perpetrators of terrorism are presently completely mindful that it is another India which hits them back by entering their nooks.

"Your each vote for Modi will move him to battle against terrorism with vigour," he included.
