January 10, 2015 15:25

Prime Minister Narendra Modi raised the poll pitch at Ramlila Maidan during his address, saying he dreamt of a Delhi which did not have any homeless people. "I have a dream, I need your support to fulfill it. I have a dream where every slum dweller in Delhi should have a house of his own by 2022, when India will complete 75 years of Independence."

He also slammed the Aam Aadmi Party and its chief Arvind Kejriwal, saying that people who wanted to be anarchists and spread anarchy should go and live with the Naxals in jungles and leave the running of the government to people like him.
