Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that action against corrupt people would continue, and those who looted the country will have to pay back.

“I want to assure the citizens of the country that those who looted the country will have to pay back. This is Modi’s guarantee,” said PM Modi in his address at the campaign rally for the BJP nominee Sudhakar Shrangare who is pitted against Congress candidate Shivaji Kalge.

“During the Congress government, one would read new scams in newspapers every morning. The heading was Coalgate, a scam of so many lakhs of crores in coal. What is the headline now? So many crores of rupees were caught from here and there. Today, bundles of notes were found in the mattress. A lot of money was found in the garage. Does this news come or not? You choose me for the job of weeding out the corruption or not? Should I do this work or not? Today, these looters are rotting in jail. I want to assure the citizens of the country that those who have looted the country have to pay back. This is Modi’s guarantee,” said PM Modi.
