Making mockery of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election campaign “MainBhiChowkidar”, the Congress on Tuesday said that the government continuously changing its branding in an effort to hide its failure in the last five years rule.
Addressing the mediapersons here, Congress Communication Wing Chief Randeep Singh Surjewala ridiculed the Bharatiya Janata Party’s #MainBhiChowkidar campaign, claiming that “Modi baba and 40 thieves” have been duping the people of the country.
Most of the BJP leaders including union ministers and chief ministers have changed their social media handles to prefix “chowkidar” (watchman) before their names.
It comes in a response to Congress president Rahul Gandhi’s claim of “chowkidar chor hai” (the watchman is a thief), a reference to PM Modi.
“Nowadays, the whole country is talking about the theft committed by a chowkidar,” Mr Surjewala said here.
“The truth is that Modi baba and 40 thieves want to fool the people once again by adding ‘chowkidar’ to their names. But the people are saying, ‘Hai hai re Modi sarkar, kabhi paan pakode kabhi chowkidar’.”
The congress leader said that the propaganda-obsessed Modi-led government needs constant “branding and rebranding” to hide the prime minister’s failures.
Earlier in the day, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad had said at a press conference that Mr Modi will interact with people who have taken the “Main bhi chowkidar” pledge at 500 venues via video conferencing on March 31.
Further, Mr Surjewala claimed that the Modi government keeps changing its slogans due to the fear of an imminent defeat in the Lok Sabha elections.
“Modi has a habit of taking money from the poor and giving it to the rich,” Mr Surjewala alleged. “The chowkidar who was responsible for the Rafale scam, for Vijay Mallya fleeing the country, that chowkidar is a thief.”
