Here to fulfil Nehru's vision for country: Modi

Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressing public in Ghazipur in the Purvanchal area of poll-bound Uttar Pradesh said, “Pandit Nehru, your family members abuse me, your party abuses me but I am here to fulfil what was left incomplete from your time. I have come here on November 14 deliberately to expose those who did not work towards fulfilling what Pandit Nehru had wanted to do”. Continuing his tirade against the Congress, Modi said that the Congress had turned the entire country into a "prison" during the 19 months of Emergency, while he has asked for just 50 days to fight the menace of black money. Much like his emotional appeal to his "honest countrymen" a day ago, Modi once again said that he understood the pain of the people. Modi recalled that in 1962, the MP from Ghazipur told Nehru about the dire state of poor in Purvanchal. “Then Panditji formed a committee. After Pandit Nehru passed away, many PMs came and went but that committee report is still lost among files. Today, on Panditji’s birthday I pledge to reopen those files, which his party and family PMs never did,” said Modi, adding that would be his tribute to India’s first prime minister on his anniversary.
