Emotional PM seeks blessings for 'Festival of Honesty' at UP rally

November 14, 2016 13:31

-- There are some who are instigating housewives. I want to assure all of you that your hard-earned money is safe with the banks. In fact you will get interest on this. The Income Tax department will not ask you about your savings of 2.5 lakhs.

-- I will never let anyone loot the money that belongs to the poor of India.

-- Have you ever heard that people are throwing currency notes in the Ganga. I must warn those people, their sins won't be washed away with all this.

-- Yes, those against me are strong people. But, I will not be scared of them. I will not leave the path of truth and integrity.

-- I am saying again just give me 50 days. The bank staff is working for 18 hours a day.

-- This is 'mahayagya', this is the festival of honesty. I seek your blessings (for success of currency ban).
